 In Scott's game the character Z'leyra, brought in primarily as a healer, is a Shaman/Sidhe Magician/Balance Wizard. Her background is as a daughter of a shaman who wed a visiting Ticasi Scholar. Upon the shaman's death he was allowed to take one of his daughters (both of whom had trained as shaman) back to Ticasi with him. In Ticasi the daughter also learned Balance wizardry and made the acquaintance of some sidhe, (most notably Varange) from whom she learned to be a sidhe magician. Her official adventuring started after her father died.
 
 Yes, she had to pay the apprenticeship cost of all three paths. With decent attributes this gave her enough starting experience to start at MEL5.

Well, when it comes right down to it, just Wizard and Shaman would be iffy. Shamans are Elder oriented, Wizards are either Chaos, Law or Balance. Probably not.
 
 However, all 3 IS more possible. Wizard plus Sidhe allows for an Elder orientation Wizard, which allows for learning of Shaman spells without Shaman training, although there is no tonah bond. Actually taking the Shaman training would give the Bond, the natural magic itemss, and a couple of basic Shaman spells, such  as the all important Orient Self.
 
 So, I'd say: Wizard plus Shaman: NO, All 3, YES, as long as Shaman was last.
 
 Of course, ultimately, it's up to your GM. A case for a Balance Wizard/Shaman could be made, and even for a Chaos Wizard/Kotothi Shaman with a Desert Lion Tonah tie.
 
 Note that Natural Mages can learn anything, which implies some immunity to Alignment restrictions, at least between Elder and Human (Wizardry) magic styles.

  Can a character pay the expertise cost to become both a Shaman and a Wizard? What about all three paths? Wizard, Shaman and Sidh?
