why are breakthroughs so difficult in lore..but

[Berengar]

@adrian24

let's say i am trying to break the limit of energy. let's assume 55 points needed. as in one of the books.

i have a creo corpus(the most likely combo to be used in an experiment) lab total of 50 . i make a spell of the 5th magnitude.

either on the first season or later i will roll a discovery. let's assume i do so after a year. but the specific spell took a season to be made.

then i make the stabilisation. most of the things i roll on the extraordinary results chart are beneficial for this purpose. but let's say i am unlucky and gain 2 successes(5 breakthrough points each) every year. so the breakthrough is made in 6 years and a half.

You can only do one stabilization for each discovery you make.

This comes up every now and then on the forum. Look for the last time that I recall here: Breakthrough: Hermetic Teacher .

Cheers
