Nope. You do that with build points. What you are doing is copying books. ArM5 p.166 does not multiply the level for ability books.
I was wondering about it because it's not just for BP. It's also the case on the preceding page for writing the summa in the first place.
I will do Muto then. I was considering one of the elements since i would get exp in all of them for studying it but I will try to do that later.
Muto is interesting for You, Silke an myself I don't really know what character @darkwing finally selected.
Silke will probably do Vim now that Muto is selected.
Are you looking at the same level 20 in Vim?
I'm considering a mix. Maybe something like level 15ish in each of Perdo and Ignem, Perdo being on the higher end. I was also thinking about filling in with some 6s. Fast copying seemed like it might be a good way to go in a few cases, maybe for all of them.
Probably not 20, but I'll have to improve vim to an extend to be able to cast my Evil Eye in neutral or moderately hostile auras maybe 10-12 range ? I'm better off improving Rego.
In the long run like to learn a copy of maintaining the demanding spell at sun duration maybe even your copy of maintaining the demanding spell with moon duration because I've got a lot of lvl25 spells that would become possible, like normal animals transformed into casual pieces of equipment like glove, belts or whatever...
I'd call the spell Instant Raven because you know you can't be the only one making puns 
Good to know. I've already got Vim 14, so 20 would be quite useful to me while 14- isn't. Vim is something I'd been considering, too.
I think we're misunderstanding I don't plan to write a book on Vim.
I'm saying I believe Silke will because he's a MuVi specialist.
Oh, I thought we were talking about the books we were planning to copy to bring with us.
Edit: Oh! I'm mixing up who's playing which magi! I get it. A little slow on the uptake here.
Very well, I'm considering spending all 4 seasons on receiving help from a mundane scribe to quickly copy two level 20 summae on Muto and Vim over the course of four seasons, respectively [(6+4)x3x2]=60, so three of each copy...if I'm counting it right.
However, they will suffer a Quality penalty until they are infused at a later date. Sound fair? Or too minmaxy again?
We’re given 3 seasons, not 4. So you can indeed get 90 levels of summae. That’s max 4 Lvl 20 summae and a lvl 10.
Also why would you make the same book multiple times ?
I will not make a Muto Summa if others are. i will make a Auram
I assumed it would be useful to have multiple copies so more people can use them at the same time.
But yeah, if I were to shoot for quality I'd have to make one level 20 Vim Summa, then quickly copy a level 20 Muto summa (or the other way around). It's up to the SG whether he'd allow leftover levels to be used on an odd level 10 summa.
Since we're given 3 seasons and 4 points, and I've used 3 points, the last point will go to vis. I'm considering spending it on the Muto book, since Vim vis is much easier to come by.
[edit] I'm mostly using my seasons on fewer powerful copies because I'd be absolutely stunned by choice paralysis if I had to do otherwise.
Alright so :
Alis of Bonisagus (played by Callen) : probably Perdo lvl15ish and Ignem lvl15ish + some 6s
Basilius Ex Bonisagus (played by Van Silke): Muto lvl 20 precise copy and Vim Lvl 20 fast copy + a lvl 10
Emericus Ex Bonisagus (played by Jebrick) : Auram lvl 20 precise copy + Finesse 5 and Magic Lore 5.
Morrigan maga Trianomae (Played By Bitter) : Intelligo lvl 20 fast copy + Animalem lvl 20 fast copy + Rego Lvl 20 fast copy. I've got 3 points left , maybe Faery lore Lvl 3.
and what's brought by Darkwing's magus when he joins us.
So we're missing Creo right now which could be bad because creo vim is Vis extraction from magical aura and we're in a vis scarce saga. Also CrCo It's healing wounds, poison, diseases.
Imho Creo is a good candidate for the remaining 10 lvls from Basilius because he will have big vim anyway and would benefit from additional 10lvls to his CrVi total because that's an additional pawn each extraction.
As for the 6's I suggest some corporem, mentem and Terram. Personally I'd also like some imaginem too but well that will probably not be a popular choice.
BUT there's a chance Darkwing goes CrAu and as Emericus already picked Auram he will probably pick a high creo. He might also choose his second character which is a Terram specialist and Then well He will pick Terram.
Chill, no pressure ^^
Thanks, @Bitter . I was going to do the same.
I'll make some comments, mostly for myself, below, including looking at these.
This is what I'm thinking right now:
Creo 6 (fast)
Intellego 6 (fast)
Perdo 20 (fast) + 2 pawns of vis
Ignem 16 (fast)
Corpus 6 (fast)
Mentem 6 (fast)
120 levels of lab texts done herself
If Darkwing does Creo, then I could drop the Creo book, raise one of the others by 1 level, and add a level-5 book on either Penetration, Concentration, or Magic Theory.
The last post suggested Vim 20 precise and Muto 20 copy fast with 1 pawn in it, rather than Muto 20 precise and Vim 20 fast.
Alis would be willing to put in one season later on to loading the Vim book with Vim vis. It would take two of us, I think, one to distill the vis and one to put them in the book. Sacrificing a season for a bunch of seasons with 3 pawns of vis in the book seems like it would be worthwhile.
Those two others would be precise copies as well. I would assume there is 1 pawn going into one of the books.
I'm confused by your 3-point comment. It looks like you've spent 2 points on a scribe helping, leaving 2 points. I'm also not clear on the Faerie Lore
I'm fast copying on my own for 3 seasons that's ((6 +my profession scribe Lvl)x3)x3) so as My scribe specialty applies to quality (elegant script) and not quantity (copy)
(((6+1)x3)x3) =63 Lvls
Which means 3 lvl 20 summae (for 60 lvl total) and 1 small thing for the remaining 3 points (for exemple Faery lore summae Lvl 3.)
All my ressources are pawns of virtus meaning 4 paws.
Because my specialty is Elegant scribe 1 get +1 bonus to quality to mitigate the -1 from fast copy.
Oh! I get it now. Are you sure you want to go that route? You're getting -2 to all qualities in return for 3 pawns of vis, which give an average of +2 to your three books. Swapping those 3 pawns for 3 seasons of assistance would get you more books as well as equally high average qualities.
Took me some time to understand but you're right It's better to fast copy with scribe and that's without taking into account increased max quality.
I'm not sure what summa I'll add though It's more than time for me to go to bed...I'll sleep over the matter
Yup, unless you have a much higher score in Profession: Scribe than most of us do.
You could look at what I wrote for Alis. I listed some possibilities I couldn't fit in with the selection I made: Penetration, Concentration, or Magic Theory (Parma Magica isn't allowed). Level-6 summas seem like a good way to go to fill things out, too.
With my focus It is interesting to have forms at half the level of my animales, unless I want to use them alone.
That would make corporem 10, Herbam 10 and Terram 10 interesting for the usual requisites, but I would also like some Imaginem and Mentem at higher than 0 and 6.
@callen If I make a lvl 10 Corporem can you make a lvl 6 Imaginem instead or your lvl 6 Corporem ?
