Jonathan,
As I'm rewriting my character, I notice that I have a Profession Scribe skill of 4, allowing me to copy 240 levels of spells in a season. That's 48 build points, right there.
I understand that we are going to have the challenges of setting up a new covenant. But we will still have to spend a season to learn any spell on a Lab Text. It's not as immediate an improvement as a Vis source, nor as generally applicable as
Is it allowable for us to supplement our Build Points with a season of copying, or will that have to take place after game start?
