Question: Philosopher ability?

[Maraxus]

I can't beleive nobody mentioned it yet but with the new patch there is the Iassacharite Sage, who does exactly this:
Research without sloth-influence!

Only sad point is, that it also has wasteland survival. You can change equipment, age and attributes, you can also clear the 20% random magic with #clearmagic, but wasteland survival can only be cleared by #clearspec, which also removes the special ability.
