| This spell will only affect Mental & Social Skills. A Life variant would raise Physical Skills. The Life variant would be Vulgar, following the Augment vs. Honing precedents.
- Note: This spell must first reduce the Untrained Penalty to zero before adding 'dots'. If you want to boost a Physical Skill which you have no dots in, it will require four successes (-3 penalty) to gain a single 'dot'.
|
The mage temporarily gains knowledge and use of one or more Skills.
This spell works as Gain Skill except Skills can exceed six dots, up to a maximum rating of the caster’s Gnosis, and successes from this spell can be split among multiple Skills, rather than applied to only one.
Free Council Rote: Universal Knowledge
This rote taps into the universal wisdom of the Astral Planes (or the Collective Unconscious, if you prefer), drawing upon the imprinted knowledge and memories of everyone who has ever lived to grant the willworker mastery of certain Skills. Some Libertines report momentary visions and flashes of memories not their own when using this spell, and some botched uses have even resulted in mages picking up foreign memories or personality traits permanently.
