Questions about Verditius Magic again.

And a non-Verditius can use a Verditius lab text; he will have to use his own Lab Total, obviously, which means no Craft or Philosophiae bonus, but that does not prevent him from gaining the benefit of the lab text.

I've always played it that a non-Verditius cannot use a lab text of a Verditius. Arm5, page 102 first column "The Lab Total is calculated in exactly the same way when working from a Laboratory Text as when working without one." I take this to mean that a non-Verditius cannot reproduce what the Verditius did so therefore cannot use the Lab Text.

Also, allowing this use devalues the Mystery of Verditius. Other breakthroughs cannot, generally, be used by non Initiates. Why should Verditius Mysteries be used?

my two cents,
