The Arcane Ability used to teach Arts to more than one student at a time.
I will cop to being bad about not regrouping things. How will you help me out? Right now I'm a bit busy with work until mid May. But I will say that you have been the only vocal one. I'm all for better organizing stuff, you need to give me a hand, or you need to wait a bit.
Is the 80 BP for our labs at the school or elsewhere? In Clement's case his lab is in Lycaneon. Is the 80 BP?
It's for the lab you had in development.
Yeah, Fabrica would move the lab himself. He's too arrogant to allow another to cast a spell on his belongings and also paranoid enough to think they'd be trying to steal things. So he'll take the two seasons and spend the silver. I also have to have him learn Hermetic Instruction, is that though just a regular Ability or is it in fact a Supernatural Ability that he'd have to be initiated into?
What resources do we have at the school to advance? Just practice/exposure and whatever Tractatus or teachers/experts we bring?
Fiona's plans (subject to last-minute cajoling) is as follows:

Her plans for exploring Hévíz is three-fold: see who and what's in the area, especially the village; find out where we might be able to find specialists, workers, craftsmen, etc. for the school (to fill any holes we haven't filled yet), and to get a good feel for the local flora and fauna so she can have an idea of where to go if we need wolfsbane or nightwort or something.
So Elizabeth is SQ3 with 5 students? So a 6 with 2 students? Is that right?
Yes.

Just tossing out things for the classbooks. Feel free to cancel them. This is assuming Clement is still teaching Techniques as had been figured out earlier.
I can't post in my regular one, but here goes. It seems though that we should pair off for instruction on occasion, especially Hermetic Instruction?
1268 Spring Move Lab 2XP 1 Bp for 10 lbs Silver
1268 Summer Move Lab 2xp
1268 Fall Intrigue 10 XP
1268 Winter Intrigue 10 xp
1269 Spring Hermetic Instruction 6 XP? (not sure how to do this if any will be joining him or what)
1269 Summer Hermetic Instruction 6 XP?
1269 Fall Hermetic Instruction 6 XP?
For Winter of 1269 and perhaps all of 1270 I figure he should make an item that he can likely produce multiple copies of in that year (which is not something he'd ordinarily do, but for the sake of the school's success he will). Something for the students, I was thinking perhaps robes or a piece of jewelry. The intent is to make an item that will both protect them and also give the teachers some information on them, via an easy scrying. Any ideas?
qcipher, check your schedule...
Also, don't forget about 1270.
I knew i was missing something. OK, i'll go back and fix this up. One of the things I wanted to do was hear from the other magi for item requests. Like I was saying, I fgure in 1270 he could make items for the students. A generic idea was a simple item like robes that provided extra protection and gave us a quick (AC) for scrying. Something like that. He can likely make two rather powerful items in a year, or a few lesser items. For example, he could make some Items of Virtue that can help with using specific Abilities.
We could maybe open a thread and do that in character as the teachers go over their methods and needs?
1268 Spring - Move Lab 2XP 1 Bp for 10 lbs Silver
1268 Summer - Move Lab 2xp
1268 Fall - Intrigue 10 XP
1268 Winter - Hermetic Instruction 6 XP?
1269 Spring - Hermetic Instruction 6 XP?
1269 Summer - Intrigue 10 XP
1269 Fall - Create an Item of Quality (to be determined, but something for either teaching or Scribing)
1269 Winter - Hermetic Instruction 6 XP?
1270 - Items made all year (to be determined)
Will this work? I confined the Hermetic Instruction to Winter and Spring.
OK...this has to be done again. Let's keep it simple:
1268 Sping: Move Lab 2XP 1 Bp for 10 lbs Silver
1268 Summer: Move Lab 2XP
1268 Winter: Hermetic Instruction, presumably with one other Teacher, 6 xp
1269 Spring: Hermetic Instruction, presumably with one other Teacher, 6 xp
1269 Winter: Hermetic Instruction, presumably with one other Teacher, 6 xp
The remaining seasons (Fall 1268, Summer and Fall 1269, all of 1270) will be in the lab making items. That's seven seasons, enough time for some serious production. As I was going through his history it occurred to me that he didn't make as many items as he could have, so I'd like to have him catch up a bit.
So, having said that. Ideas, requests, suggestions? He can make Items of Quality, and reforge items (allowing to pack and stack abilities into existing items). The other Mysteries he has don't provide items for the School per se.
If we have 6 magi in need of training from Elizabeth, I don't think there are enough seasons for her to only teach two magi @ 6xp/season. To get to level 2, that would require 3 seasons for each pair of magi, or 9 seasons to process all 3 pairs of magi. Given that's she's only teaching Winter and Spring for these 3 years, that's only 6 seasons of teaching available. That's not enough time.
I think we're going to have to bite the bullet and just have to take the 3xp for multiple seasons, but that'll get us all covered.
Oh, it's easily possible to reduce the total number of seasons spent learning from Elizabeth. It's an exercise for the troupe.
Missed the only in winter and spring part. revised.

I do not think so as she has only 6 seasons. With 6 magi it is impossible. Even with 5 it would be the same. once we get to 4 she could teach each magi for a season (9SQ) then 2 each for the next 2 seasons (6SQ)
It is possible to get everyone to a score of 2 in a total of three seasons. Look at the teaching formula for clues.
