Setting aside Han Se-ah's careless boasting about mastering the new system, choosing which equipment to enhance was straightforward.
The melee weapon enhancement stone went to Katie's beloved sword, the ranged weapon stone to Grace's bow, and the armor stone to Han Se-ah's robe. Though "armor" enhancement stone wasn't quite accurate - "defensive equipment" enhancement stone would've been more precise.
The reasoning was simple. The gear that appeared with my body in the illustration was superior munchkin-type equipment compared to Magic Tower gear, so I excluded it from enhancement.
As a mage, Han Se-ah's power increased when she poured in mana, so enhancing the bow made sense. And for defensive gear, Han Se-ah got dibs since her shield magic was less potent than Irene's protective holy magic.
I could endure with my body, and Katie and Grace were agile enough to dodge most attacks. Irene could also deploy near-automatic protective holy magic with her incredible reflexes. Han Se-ah seemed pretty quick at casting shields too, but strictly speaking, her strength lay in precise control rather than reaction speed.
