[PnP] Magic Questions

[Thomas O. Magann Jr.]

>I've been reading the Magic section and I found a couple of questions with character creation of a magic-user.
>
>1. Can Expertise Points from 1.14 of Book One be spent on any aspect of Magic other than apprenticeship?
>

no.

>2. When purchasing beginning spells at character creation, do you use the costs listed in 7.3 and 7.4 of Book Two?  
>

yes, but the costs are modified by orientation of the apprentice and the spell. Sectin 8.4 covers this.

>3. Is the character considered to be instructed during the apprenticeship spell selection?
>

Well, ultimately that's the GM's call, but apprenticeship pretty much requires a Master/Teacher. Worst case, a stingy DM might say that all ELs over 0 for some orientations of spell might be experience only.

>4. When buying a spell family (eg. Fire Powers) does the EL of each spell in the family have to be increased separately?
>

Oh yes. 7.45
