Learning Leadworker Virtue

Virtues (major or minor) can also be directly taught, rather than initiated: this is how parens pass on their magical styles to their apprentices.

Apprentices p.40ff Teaching Hermetic Virtues, a subchapter of Hermetic Apprenticeship, is limited to Hermetic Virtues.

Yes, there is some confusion about House Virtues in the chapter, which are called Hermetic on p.42, but by ArM5 p.30 need not be: just think of Self-Confident for a Tytalus. And the teacher of the Hermetic Virtue is only "typically an apprentice's parens" (p.40f) - so troupes have quite some wiggle space. This wiggle space is further stressed by Matt Ryan, its author, but also limited there by

I wanted a rule that lets magi teach apprentices, but wouldn’t let magi teach magi. There are other ways for magi to gain new Virtues. In my mind, Virtues should be taught during apprenticeship only.
