Description: Magic harnessed by manipulating mana via complex ceremonies, either by chanting, singing, dancing, gesturing, rune scripting, or full blown ceremonies.

Learning: Assuming 6 hours of study a day, five days a week, the following chart tells how long it takes an average human to reach certain power levels. An adept student would lessen the time intervals, of course. For other races, the chart might well be horribly different. This is just to give an idea.

Power	Time (in years)
25	166
24	143
23	121
22	102
21	85
20	70
19	57
18	46
17	37
16	30
15	25
14	21
13	18.5
12	16.25
11	14.25
10	12.5
9	11
8	9.75
7	7.75
6	6
5	4.5
4	3.25
3	2.25
2	1.5
1	1

Lowering: Lowering the difficulty by chanting, repetition, or narrative, the basic numbers are thus:

Difference	Points lowered
+7	none
+6	1/60 per 3 seconds
+5	1/54 per 3 seconds
+4	1/48 per 3 seconds
+3	1/42 per 3 seconds
+2	1/36 per 3 seconds
+1	1/30 per 3 seconds
0	1/24 per 3 seconds
-1	1/18 per 3 seconds
-2	1/12 per 3 seconds
-3	1/6 per 3 seconds
-4	1 per 3 seconds
-5	7/6 per 3 seconds
-6	13/6 per 3 seconds
-7	19/6 per 3 seconds
-8	25/6 per 3 seconds
-9	31/6 per 3 seconds
-10	37/6 per 3 seconds
