So where do I post for post-lunch investigations?
Do we know what season we need to be casting it? In this line up of seasons?
I see several folks learning it in Season 2. Should we all align to that so that we're casting in season 3? Or do we need to be ready by season 4?
I'll be at MuVi 10 after Season 1 (Muto 6 Vi 4 after study). That's sufficient to learn the Vigil?
you need to calculate your lab total. that being said, our labs are in an aura 8, which tends to help a lot.
We don't know yet. Have to ask grogs, I suppose, or do some artes liberales or philosophiae or whatever it is. I just assumed two seasons because we need at least that for Lares to learn all that is needed - we cannot accelerate it more. But if we have more, all the better.
Argentius' total for learning it would then be is int 3 + mt 5 + mu 6 + vi 4 = 18 before aura. Assuming his lab is 8, as I think it is, you should be good then.

For now, I'll stick with the current plan until we know what season we're in.
The covenant charter will have a few required variations:
- the covenant will lay claim to any lands it has improved not previously claimed by any other power for which they have not received compensation for their labor.
- where it indicates that all magi must keep to the oath of hermes it will have been edited to indicate "the revised oath of hermes"
- the covenant will pledge to protect the magi and any family they have in residence.

Hey folks, had a busy day so far. I'll get a post done when I get home from work in a few hours.

I'm not really clear yet on what Tastheus should be studying to help out. If nothing else he can study Magic Theory to improve his ability to help someone else learn a high level Aegis.
As it stands, he has an Int 2 + MT (Spells) 3, for a total of +6.
6+8 for aura is 14, so unless Tastheus has bonuses to Muto or Vim or inventing spells or general from his lab (or overwork), he would have to get 11 more to learn a level 25 spell. With our books, that necessarily means studying for at least 3 seasons, after which he would have to learn the Vigil in season 4.
And he has deficient Muto, so it's probably going to be more, and not very efficient.
I don't think it's worth the trouble, since we don't need everyone participating in the Vigil.
The level 50 Aegis is, I think, out of the picture for now, and we'll have to survive with 30 for the foreseeable future. This is because we would need a higher-level Vigil to avoid a relatively high chance of botching, and before everyone had learned it, we would be several years in. It's a solid long-term goal, though - if you don't know what else to do with your season, learning MuVi or theory is always a good bet.
Edit: There's other communally-useful stuff he could do, of course. We'll probably need to learn some stuff for travel, for instance, for which corpus is useful. And we'll need to find and collect those vis sources, which might be dangerous.

Assuming we can have 3-4 copies of the Wizard's Vigil made in one season, we will have 4 Magi capable of casting it in two seasons.
Based on the chart we need 4 copies so we can have 5 reading it, but a Scribe of only 2 is enough for that with time to spare
Am not sure what the following are:
Set-beast
Horus-beast
Takafsa
So at this point, should I post for Tastheus in the investigations section? He is curious to find any enchanted items, Mercere portal etc.
You can cast it ceremonially, and not suffer fatigue.
You
Excellent point, thank you! It takes about as long without rest, as well, and no botch die.
You invested in Artes Liberalles and Philosophiae, with a Ceremonial Casting specialty, might as well make use of it

The set beast and Horus beast are both referenced in Lands of the Nile
The Takafsa is (to the degree that I can recreate my original search) a sort of African wild dog/hell hound/shadow hound type creature. Basically, it looks like a blurry black wild dog.

I understand that the initial private message was sent so that not anyone would be able to access the link. Could we, for the rest of the ooc chat, start using this thread again?

Hmm I am curious about this walnut tablet. I assume since Silas noticed it and could figure out the effect there is already a list of personality traits displayed on it? If so is something he could recognize as possibly his own on it? Or did he touch it and the item penetrated, only revealing his and for him alone? I am not trying to cheese my way out of investigating it properly in the lab. It just seems that Silas already found out a little, so I am just interested in how it happened.
Also curious about personality from the warping.
