+Kennocht lab plan:
+
+(LS1 = Lab Season 1 = campaign S4, Winter 1222)
+
+ * LS1: Make Basic lab.  Automatically gains Superior Construction (+1 Safety) and Elevated (+1 Au).
+ * LS2: Work on the lab to make it not Basic.
+ * LS3: Work on the lab, gain Auspicious Shape (+1 Vi) and Undecorated (spec limit 2).
+ * LS3: Install an Orb for Intelligo (+1 In), and Missing Equipment (Animal, Familiar).
+ * LS6: Work on L20 InVi spell (10 points / 20)
+ * LS8: Work on L20 InVi spell (20 points / 20), spell is complete
+
+ * LS4: Read Magic Theory Summa for 13 XP in MT.
+   need 7 XP in MT to get to MT L4, so 3 seasons must be Exposure.
+
+ * LS5: Refine lab, now it's +1 Refinement, Highly Organised (+1 GQ) and has a free slot; remove Undecorated.
+
+OR
+
+ * ... and undo Undecorated
+ * Install Orb as Major Focus (2 seasons for Feature + balancing Flaw), -2 GQ, +7 amongst In Im Me Vi
+                                                                                           3  1  1  2
+OR
+
+ * Install Orb as Major Feature, +3 amongst In Im Me Vi (2 seasons)
+   balance with
+      Missing Equipment
+   undo Undecorated at some point
+
+
+----------
+
+ * LS3: Install an Orb (Minor Structure Virtue, Lesser Feature, Orb. Intelligo).  Now the lab has Vi 1, In 1 and Kennocht's Lab Total for InVi is 30.  1 XP MT, 1 XP In.
+
+ * LS9: ?, study some book?
+
+  Now Kennocht has L4 Magic Theory.
+
+In some seasons Kennocht could fruitfully go on a short <10d adventure to gain better XP than the 2 Exposure XP.
+
+When taking exposure XP, up to Installing the Orb it has to be in Magic Theory.  After that it can be in Intelligo.
+
+Missing Equipment Familiars and Animal

+Converse with a Ghost
+
+You can speak with any one ghost within Voice range.  The ghost is not compelled in any way, but most will typically choose to answer.
+
+  Like Whispers InCo L15 but
+    - don't need the body (so not Corpus)
+	- only works on actual ghosts, not any spirit
+    - range touch -> voice, +2
+
+  Like MuMe L40 but
+	- hearing rather than vision => -1
+    - duration Sun -> Conc => -1
+	- targets Room -> Ind => -2
+    - not "making the spirit visible", and they can hear the caster, should be In not Mu
+  says L20
+
+Converse with the Haunting Spirit
+  InMe
+     In like Whispers and guideline Speak
+     Me like Vision
+  L15 "speak with", but InMe guidelines don't match the spells very well
+     +1 duration Mom -> Conc
+	 +2 target Pers -> Voice
