I'm having some trouble with the Post-Gauntlet advancement.
How does the flaw "Close Family Ties" interact with the correspondence, adventures and even mystagogues? I took this minor story flaw to represent the fact that Lucius had a close relationship with his pater and his other filii (as well as their own apprentices and filii). Could these also be considered pre-existing correspondents? Could they become mystagogues? What about stories/adventures that get triggered by the flaw? How would they be categorized? I would expect that such an adventure would get triggered at least once per cycle, in addition to the maximum of 5 allowed in the Magus Character Creation Rules.
It also seems to me that for a more action-oriented magus such as Lucius, adventures should also occur as he performs covenant services, instead of simply being lab work/ (which is what an "exposure season" seem to imply). Other adventures that don't seem to fit into the different categories, but that would make sense for Lucius, are participating in a Wizard's March, or hunting down a threat to the Order or Tribunal. Right now the adventures seem more geared towards what lab rats would be expected to do. Am I simply not being imaginative enough?
