FYI, paralysis when paired with the chaos symbiosis never fully prepares, or it does and doesn't message you.

Instead of using PREP with TM spells use TARGET instead. TM spells are fully prepped instantly and have to be targeted. You can save yourself some time by just using TARGET since it will prep and target the spell instantly.

No symbiosis and TM? That's too bad. It definitely works with debil though, been using it on lethary without a problem.

There are some spells, like Cyclics, that Symbiosis will appear to work on but don't actually do anything. Lethargy might be one of those.

Which cyclics? I have not seen symbiosis work with any cyclics. Lethargy is a debil - I have also not seen symbiosis work with any debil.

No? AFAIK not a single Empath or Cleric cyclic interfaces with symbioses.

>prep regen 12
With meditative movements you prepare your body for the Regenerate spell.

>prep sym
You recall the exact details of the Chaos symbiosis, preparing to integrate it with the next spell you cast.

>cast
You gesture.
Rutilant sparks of light encircle you, bathing you in a warm glow as your body begins to tingle with energy.

>discern regen
The spell requires at minimum 5 mana streams and you think you can reinforce it with 8 more, for a total of 13 streams.
Roundtime: 8 sec.

Interestingly though, casting a cyclic clears a prepared symbiosis.

I tried with AD, GS, Regen, Rezz, GhS, and HYH-Male. Same results on all, each prepped and cast 1 point below DISCERNs reported max.

Oh, ok, I misunderstand what you were saying then.
