Interest Levels¶
Every fetish carries a rating. You set it on the Fetish map screen, one row per fetish, one control per row. The Domina plans around anything rated at one heart or more.
The rating scale¶
| Control | Label on screen | What it tells her |
|---|---|---|
| Cross | Hard limit | Never mention, reference or imply this. |
| Circle | Not for me | Treat this as silence. Avoid it. |
| 1 heart | Occasionally | Weave it in now and then. |
| 2 hearts | Often | Make it a regular feature. |
| 3 hearts | Constantly | Reach for this whenever it fits. |
It is a single control, so a fetish sits at exactly one of these. Tap the cross and the hearts clear. Tap a heart and the cross clears.
Hearts are how often, not how hard¶
This is the one thing worth getting right, and the screen says it too. More hearts means she weaves the fetish into your scenes more often. It does not make her rougher. How hard she pushes comes from your level and from her own intensity setting.
The rating is also about what you do in your sessions, not what you like looking at. Rating Latex at three hearts tells her you wear latex.
How she uses the rating¶
- Frequency. Higher-rated entries come up more often.
- Centrality. A three-heart fetish can be the spine of a session. A one-heart entry is more likely to be a single directive.
- Rotation. Anything she has worked recently drops down the order, so she does not run the same theme back to back.
Changing a rating¶
You can change a rating at any time from the Fetish map screen.
- Lowering a rating affects future sessions only. A session in progress still uses what it was planned with.
- Setting the circle takes the fetish off her list.
- Raising a rating makes the fetish more likely in the next plan.
What she learns on her own¶
Your ratings are not the whole picture. When a chat shows real interest or real disinterest, the Domina records a small adjustment against that fetish, between -1 and +1, and plans on your rating plus that adjustment. It is how she picks up on things you never got round to rating: a fetish you left at the circle can come up on its own once she has heard enough.
You can see the current adjustment in the chat menu under Fetishes. The dots are your Fetish map rating, the green or crimson plus or minus is what she has learned, and the Heat bar is the weight she is actually planning on.
If it has drifted somewhere you did not intend, tap Reset AI learning at the top right of the Fetish map. It asks you to confirm, then clears every automatic adjustment. Your hearts and crosses stay exactly as you set them.
One heart is a good starting place¶
If you are new to MISTRIX or unsure about something, give it one heart. The Domina brings it in occasionally, you can rate the session, and you can raise or lower it after seeing how it landed.
Hard limits beat everything¶
A crossed fetish is never used, and it cannot be learned back: the adjustment she can apply is not enough to lift a cross out of the never pile. See Hard Limits.
