[[!toc ]] ## The Gift and Teaching Magi with the normal Gift are at -3 for teaching, whether they're the teacher or the student. This is going to be a bit of a pain if they want to interact with the university. This penalty can be removed if they extend their Parma to cover their teacher or students, but that can only be done with consent (and note that the maga is also at -3 to convincing the other party), which is going to require some finesse to avoid revealing the covenant's secrets. If the maga is unobtrusive and in the midst of a large group of people then the -3 is ignored; so if she's going to popular lectures then she'll be OK; although she will probably get a bit of suspicion of being a false student (which is in some senses true anyway); but that's no help if she's looking for instruction in Demotic Egyptian. ## Apprentices Note that the old loophole of having multiple magi work together to open an apprentice's arts has been removed. ## Mastery Abilities A fairly well hidden ArM5 change is that spell mastery has been improved, and one side effect of this is that spell masteries can be learned and taught in all the same ways that any other Ability can.
