Activities in the last 15 years: Kourasméni has established herself as an important, if young, maga in Tribunal politics. She was advanced with 33 XP a year, representing spending 1 season reading books and benefiting from her Book Learning virtue. As well, she has spent several seasons reading books designed to advance an Art from 0 to 5 in a season. Her focus on politics has caused her to choose to grow her Abilities more quickly than her Arts. She spends 8 seasons learning spells. She uses her political connections to get lab texts whenever possible, which means she has invented very few spells. All of her vis goes into purchasing a Longevity RItual.

Activities in the last 15 years: Kourasméni has become a valued member of the Tribunal, frequently having a voice in the debates held every seven years. She has a famous debate with her former master at the most recent Tribunal, in which she narrowly defeats him, though some wonder if he allowed it to happen that way. She was advanced with 33 XP a year, representing spending 1 season reading books and benefiting from her Book Learning virtue. As well, she has spent several seasons reading books designed to advance an Art from 0 to 5 in a season. She has started to exhaust the lab texts commonly available, and has spent some time inventing spells. Despite the cost she has created her Talisman as well, a diadem that she innocently insists is not a crown, but clearly is. She spends 12 seasons in the lab and learning spells. She also suffers a crisis and must remake her Longevity Ritual.
Talisman: Kourasméni’s Diadem
Kourasméni chose the design of a gold diadem because she wanted to have a symbol of control and hoped that it would be less obvious than a crown. The diadem is in an ancient Greek style, as befit the great kings and queens like Alexander and Helen. Because of her difficulty using vis carefully she has not added too many effects into the item.
(opened with 10 pawns of vis, of which only 4 pawns have been filled)
Attunements:
+3 control people
+5 gain authority
+5 gain respect

Activities in the last 15 years: As she nears the forty fifth anniversary of her Gauntlet word reaches her that her old master has vanished into Final Twilight. This victory is bittersweet, as she finds she misses him. The rivalry is replaced by her frater, Peritheus, who is a rival claimant to their master’s Hermetic inheritance. As such her flaws have been adjusted.

Activities in the last 15 years: Kourasméni has discovered the limits of political power in her conflict with her frater, Peritheus. He nearly killed her during the first Wizard’s War he initiated, she barely escaped from her covenant with her life. Sheltering at a different ally’s covenant every few years, she kept ahead of Peritheus while keeping a low profile in the Tribunal and building her own magical power. But when he unleashed a Mystery Cult fueled curse on her all seemed lost. The dim memories of Kol Niedre caused her to return to the Jewish community, and a miracle saved her. She has returned to the name of her birth, Leah, and has returned to the Jewish fold. More or less. Leah has left Iberia, and her frater, behind, as she begins her search for a Jewish community that will accept her as a maga, and an Order of Hermes that will accept her as a Jew. Once again her flaws have been adjusted. She has paid for ritual magic to increase her Stamina back to zero after suffering from aging.
Swap the Inscribed Memory of Bonisagus
Muto Mentem 10
R: Eye, D: Diam, T: Ind
You swap the target’s understanding of two Latin words, either the names of two Forms or the names of two Techniques. These words are used in spell casting in Bonisagus’s system, so the swap makes it more difficult to cast spells. The target still remembers the other words that power their spells, and they still have the ability to gesture, so they can still cast, but at a -5 penalty. In addition, because of their magical confusion, if they do cast a spell using words they must use a stress die and they must roll 5 additional botch dice when checking for a botch.
Needing a way to fight her frater, Kourasméni devised this spell that can cripple a magus’s ability to do magic for a short while. She wanted it to be as easy to cast as possible to have the best chance of penetrating a Parma Magica, and to use her highest Technique and Form. This spell modifies Inscribed Memories (HoH:S 69), which is a process that is not well defined, so I hope it's a valid spell. It uses the level 4 MuMe guideline “make a major change to a person’s memory of a period of their life” being their training.

Press the Enemy into Dreams
Rego Mentem 10
R: Eye, D: Diam, T: Ind
You force the target into sleep, which is magically maintained for the duration of the spell. The target rolls against an ease factor of 9+ with an appropriate personality trait to resist the spell, based on what they were doing before they were compelled to sleep.
Kourasméni devised this spell to disable her frater for a few precious minutes. Unfortunately given the magnitude of his desire to kill her and his strong will she found this to be mostly useless.

Past of Another’s Month
Muto Mentem 30
R: Eye, D: Moon, T: Ind
As Past of Another, Arm5 p 149. The target’s memories are completely rewritten. Kourasméni reinvented this so that it would not be a ritual because of her tendency to waste vis.
(Base 10, +1 Eye, +3 Moon)
Aura of The Curious Student
Rego Mentem 25
R: Eye, D: Moon, T: Ind
The target of this spell is strongly inclined to view you as a good student who is worthy of careful instruction, even if you are disobedient and arrogant.
Leah found that Aura of Rightful Authority did not create the attitude rabbis expected to have towards a female student, especially one who had strayed so far. She created this spell as an alternative.
(Base 5, +1 Eye, +2 Moon)
Sudden Tznius
Muto Animal (Terram) 15
R: Touch, D: Moon, T: Ind
The woolen garments you are wearing, including any metal fasteners, shift into a modest outfit suitable for a pious Jewish woman. The quality of the materials does not change, only their form. So long as the caster obeys the laws of shatnez there is no need for an Herbam requisite.
Leah discovered that the fashionable clothing she typically wears does not fit in well when visiting a Jewish Quarter.
(Base 2, +1 Touch, +3 Moon, +1 requisite)
