Alienor Ex Merinita

[dc444 (nullsettings)]

I am not being duplicitous. I am not trying to “slide in non-standard initiations.” The Ordeal Flaw I would receive for the initiation is the same ordeal that Shadow Masters get for their initiation of the same mystery virtue since that flaw is required by the mystery as an ordeal see HoH:MC starting on p101, Glamour. The issue is more story that the Certamen as a part of the initiation on page 83 does not fit the followers of Pendule IMO. So the other elements of the initiation as background story would merely be fluff. If you want my fluff to be a Certamen I can do that but it seems to not fit the concept of Followers of Pendule.

the non-standard initiation (there is no canon initiation) for Binding the Gift is something we have discussed.

So for Provence, I'm thinking of a Merinita who is in the Follower of Pendule lineage. I would like to initiate Spell Timing and Glamour post-apprenticeship. a) Are those mysteries acceptable? b) I would then spend one season of a Post apprentice year (-10xp) for the minor vrtue and one whole year (-30xp) for the Major virtue, correct? c) Do Provencal Magi get a standard amount of vis available to them each post-apprentice year if I want to make something in that time that requires vis? I kno…

From that post to this post

I will allow that- there is a script for those who have such leftover ordeal bonuses (which would be common in merinita) which only requires 3 months of service from the initiate for the remaining +3 bonus. It is very popular amongst mystagogues initiating people who are not their 'regulars'.

I got the impression there was a script, which I assumed you would design, to allow me to take Binding the gift. You did not design one. If you would like me to use whatever script Hugh used I will. If I need to take yet another flaw above my virtues I will.
