**Favor**: floating text or equations, unexpected magical effects, sudden mathematical understanding/interpretation, well-timed silence, photographic memory

**Gift**: one of: automatically learn a ritual, figure out a puzzle/secret that you are worthy of knowing, or gain Foresight for the next 24hrs

## Dogma

**Code**: knowledge is not power, for knowledge will not only move the world, but grant insight on where it should be moved. intellectual curiosity must be encouraged in all ways, with every answer sought, every inquiry investigated, every logical path followed, and every hypothesis tested. uncovered secrets and existing knowledge must both be preserved, except in the case of dangerous or forbidden knowledge, which must be locked away and defended with utmost care.

**Obedience**: Spend at least an hour teaching someone to read, think critically, or otherwise improve their self-education skills. You can also use this time to study under a more learned teacher. If neither a student nor a teacher is available, spend the hour working on research or recording information about a personal project that would advance the understanding and knowledge of mortalkind. Gain a +4 bonus on Knowledge and Lore checks.

## Herald/Apparition

**Herald**: Djaunik, a cloud of crystalline equations that dispenses wisdom to those stuck in their learning or research and absorbs forbidden lore

**Apparition**: Magistrix, an eager, young arachne that saps the intellect, common sense, and curiosity from those around it, leading to ignorance and contentment

**Careful Scholar** (Sp): Burst of Insight 3/day, Investigative Mind 2/day, or Secret Page 1/day
