My concept doesn't really require  any particular field of magic. Any combination of arcanum can fit the basic style of the character. And Space would work well.So! A little more tweaking, and I should be ready to post V2.0 of the sheet. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Toki...one thing my brain is hanging up on is the contradictory notion of a character who is newly Awakened having a mentor. Thus far, I have only a few possible scenarios in mind to explain it, and they seem kind of...deus ex machiney to me. They all assume that Allison's granmama was Awakened herself (pretty much has to be if the library has a super-secret Batcave in it <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.1) Awakened friend of grammy comes over and helps Allison out for awhile. Since he or she's not native to the area, there's no formal intro to the Counsilium for Allie just yet. Only to the Mysteries of magehood.2) Lichten's Obrimos IS the mentor. A classic case of the one-eyed man being king in the land of the blind. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />3) The Superman option. Grammy left some kind of posthumous construct/interactive recording/simulacra behind to give Allison the basics, keyed to activate when Allison entered the sanctum. Since the key to the sanctum is designed to work only for awakened, this would ensure that she doesn't get "educated" too soon.4) Similar to 3, but a little less corny. Maybe Gramms had a Familiar. Her death freed it, but it acceded to her last wish and stayed behind to educate Allison. Once that was done, it moved on. Alternatively, maybe Allison inherited it (if I buy a familiar <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />).5) Along the same lines, perhaps the knowledge of the mentor is stored in an object or artifact (which I then buy). This would actually be interesting...a sentient "spellbook" perhaps, or similar, which can tutor her in the ways of magic.So! Any thoughts about which of these might be especially appropriate or inappropriate given the style, tone, and scope of the game?Thanks!</blockquote>
