Again, read what I wrote.
and tSE pg 29 middle column, second paragraph near the center. ''To write books in Classical Greek requires fluency in that language (a score of 5 ,ArMa5, pg 165) rather than Romaic Greek, so magi often learn both languages''. It is clear that a score of 7 in a living language does not allow you to write in a dead language. I believe this was meant as a stop gap for people getting native language of Greek or Italian and bypassing C.Greek and Latin requirements.
Again. Romaic Greek 5 you can read Church Greek. Romaic Greek 6 you can read Classical Greek. No amount of score in Romaic can you write Church of C.Greek. IF you have a church education and IF your specialty is Church Greek, you CAN write Church Greek at Romaic Greek 5. Ok?
..but thats just it! the rules dont say specifically that. Its a loophole saying , yes you need to be gifted to help with research, but setting up a lab isnt research. Look the whole idea would be ok IF you spend 2-3 seasons teaching the grog MT. But the whole argument is that IF he can make labs after having the ability, why not learn it by a book? Pass 10 grogs to someone who teaches them Latin for three seasons, give them books for three seasons, and you have a company of lab making grogs. Why on earth would someone allow that?
Interesting, first time I hear of this. Page please?
