I can see why they say Elemental Beads give good skillup. Actually, it seems to be the case that, although I occasionally got subpar skillup rates, a lot of my skilling sessions have at least averaged a +0.3 gain per twelve synths, but the number of these "streak" skillups off Beads is really quite remarkable, considering that I'm technically synthing over cap.
Anyway, Celestria and I met up again a few days later to continue:

At this rate, two more skillup sessions should bring me to cap. Then, goodness knows what...
