Summoning at Character Creation

Oups!!!

You're pretty right, wrong Erik there

I've searched it, though, and found it, which conforts me, I feared it was yet another case of senility from me. Sigh of relief.

Accelerated Abilities vs Methods, Powers and Goetic Arts

According to the terminology in Societates, Summoning, Ablating, Binding, and Commanding would be Accelerated Abilities. Similarly, Methods and Powers are something else, Arts that increase as Abilities ("Decelerated Arts"?). The rules didn't define Arts this way when we wrote Divine and Infernal, so it was easier then to just say that all of these things are Abilities, but note that some of them start at 0 and increase in the same way as Hermetic Arts.

So, if I understand correctly, if made now, the Goetic Arts would be marked as Accelerated Abilities, and the Method & Powers as Difficult Arts.

Still, I don't know if there's a max at chargen for Accelerated Abilities. Not, btw, if the age restrictions on abilities are lifted for difficult arts. Maybe there is, but, well, my ars-fu ain't good enough.
