Sorry about the size limit.
Next chunk he will invent the other two, but may not cast yet. I didn't realize his Arts were low.
His arts are fine for a lower Might Daimon- up to 30 so long as the spirit focus applies (there may be some where it does not but it would be rare). Minimum might for an ascended Daimon at ascension is might 20. Someone capable of authoring 2 level 20 books - technique and form, would be might 40 at ascension.
I hadn't thought about that - so binding an ascended magus as a familiar is a tall order, generally going to have a might way over 30-ish.
He will go back and research some more, this time looking for Daimons that have been known to be helpful to theurgists in the past.
Rolled a 20 on magic lore.
There are a lot of those- could you be more specific?
Daimons that are usually called up to help find the answers to mysteries or riddles, or to give advice and guidance regarding the use of magic.
You find Phix, Daedalus, An-Enlilda, and Nestor
Are the Invoke spells by themselves enough to get something in return from the Daimon (since they got Daimon points out of it)? If so, would have asked Jasmyne to teach me any lost initiations, or anything else she felt was important.
Not inherently, it is enough to start the conversation, and many daimons will give you some minor benefit from that alone to encourage further conjurations.
She will suggest that she could act as a mystagogue for initiation of Hermetic sacrifice, if you are willing to go through the process she outlines.
He declines as politely as he can. He explains that he wishes to reform the image of the Titanoi, and the practicing of sacrifice would make that more difficult. He asks that she not share that secret with future Titanoi who may summon her; mentioning in passing that he intends to share the spell with others in the cult so that they can contact her.
She huffs "That is what the Titanoi said when I was alive, why I went back to the Ordo Miscellanea"
"I meant no offense. We just have to be careful, at least until the generation that was around for the Betrayal is gone."
He won't press the issue further.
I did a small advancement chunk, he's now at the point where he will try to Invoke An-Enlilda. How many castings should I roll?
But also, does he realize that the name sounds Babylonian and therefore there might be a language barrier? If so, are there interpreters or books available? Or is there a way around that through theurgy or the spirit's capabilities?
He would be aware that An-Enlilda is ancient of of eastern origins, but also that he possesses the gift of tongues (and the head of a fish).
You call An-Enlilda on the first attempt. When you explain your designs he wants to know if you are asking that he be your "bound advisor" (theurgic familiar) or if you merely wish his advice on how to locate an appropriate individual.
"I'm looking for a bound advisor, if you are willing. Can you tell me more about yourself?"
As he describes it he was an advisor to the "first gods", before Babylon, and is one of 7 brothers who were all sage advisors. He was known as the conjurer amongst these sages, which is why he is associated with magic still and better known than his brothers. He has used the power accumulated from supplicants over the millennia to expand his knowledge instead of his might, because he believes that knowledge is the most valuable form of power. He is willing to become your familiar, as he finds your project (making the Titanoi great again) interesting and worthy.
Kriegeist finds that admirable and ideal, and will make him his familiar.
Nearing the end of advancement, I think one more chunk then I'll stop. Will be looking for an apprentice, you said similar to the familiar search, but what are the specifics?
Also, not asking for complete stats on En-lil (happy to know them if you want) but will need to know about teaching him Magic Theory and what his Int is for assisting, and his Might for the binding.
He has a skill with Hermetic magic, at 3, and an Int of 5. His might is 20.
Do Daimons with a familiar bond gain access to a new avenue of learning? Or does that aspect of the bond not effect them?
Gift penalty doesn't effect familiar, right?
They can learn more easily, not being penalized by their might, but they still need to "fix" the abilities with daimon points.
If I want to teach him more Magic Theory, does he have points available that he would commit to that, or do I need to provide him with more points through invocations?
He would have to consider what his other options are for spending daimon points, also depending on how high you want to teach him.
