Effect
Mages who compile rotes at a scriptorium can learn them more efficiently than elsewhere. Similar to the Sanctum Merit, Scriptorium has two aspects: Subjects and Depth. Divide the merit dots between each aspect, with a minimum of one dot in each. These aspects govern the types of rote study that a given scriptorium can cover. Each dot in subjects encompasses one of the ten arcanum. Each depth dot represents the maximum rote rank in any scriptorium subject.
Mages who study applicable rotes in a Scriptorium pay half the usual experience cost. Rotes that aren't covered by the Scriptorium's subjects or depth require the usual experience cost.
Drawback
A scriptorium isn't for the uneducated. An awakened scholar needs academic training in order to make efficient use of the scriptorium's resources. This mandates Academics Skill dots equal to the highest Arcanum rank in the rote she wishes to research. Without these research skills, the student pays normal price for the rote.
A mage who invests experience in a scriptorium cannot add Subject Arcana that he does not know and cannot raise the depth higher than his highest arcanum rank. This limitation does not apply to the mage's starting merit dots because these might represent a gift from another mage with different abilities.
Special
Similar to other collective merits, several characters can combine dots to share a Scriptorium. This may not raise the Scriptorium's subjects or depth to more than five dots.
