As I've been saying for awhile, here is an update to learning sorcery out of clan. This will be added to the sorcery packet once it's been approved by council.
Learning Sorcery out of Clan:
Like Tremere thaumaturgy, Sorcery takes a monumental amount of time and effort to learn. Without an Assamite instructor there is no basis for the needed concepts within such a diverse form of magic. The ritual and somatic gestures of the paths are not from where the magic flows.
If the individual finds an Assamite Sorcery instructor then, a minimum of a year of study is required to retrain the individuals understanding of the universe. Both the instructor and student must first meet all of the ability requirements relative to rank and rarity rating for paths and rituals. Once this study has begun it interferes in the learning of other things (disciplines, abilities, gaining influence, etc.) for both the student and the teacher. The amount of time and effort they must put towards breaking the student’s paradigm is too great for either to concentrate on anything else. The Vizier Caste, being the closest to Sorcerers in mindset, has a slightly easier time learning Sorcery then Warriors and the members of other Clans. For them the time of study required is only six months. It is still rare for even a Vizier to learn anything but the basics of Sorcery and even then only when it is in line with their area of Obsession. Note: Unlike the Tremere the Assamites do not have the ritual “Inherited Affinity” so it is not possible for this time to be reduced significantly.
Although the Assamites have joined the Camarilla it does not mean that they are willing to teach their magic. Like the Tremere they would prefer to sell their services rather than teach them. “Give a man a fish he eats for a day. Teach a man how to fish, he doesn’t need you anymore.”
If an individual is chosen he/she should have gone to considerable lengths for clan Assamite. The applicant should be worth of Clan Friendship (Assamite Coordinator Approval required), and is only allowed to learn Rarity 1 and 2 paths of Sorcery and Rarity 1 and 2 rituals. The applicant may not learn anything that has not been approved by the Assamite Coordinator. They may not learn Assamite only paths or Rituals of Sorcery. As a note: The applicant, who is learning Assamite Sorcery out of clan, must meet all the requirements for R1 and R2 Assamite Sorcery in order to cast the magic except Quietus. You may not learn Assamite Sorcery out of clan from an NPC without Coordinator approval.Running sneakersNike Air Max 270
