While any moderately competent spellcaster will have become highly skilled

at deciphering spells from arcane tomes and ancient, cryptic compendia, this

process can be much easier with a good teacher.

Of course, not every yahoo fresh off the farm can teach the Great Mysteries.

The teacher must know the spell; he must have a copy of a spellbook for the

it in hand; and, he must use any object needed to read that spellbook. This

transfer of arcane knowledge can only be done at the peristratum for the spell

being learned. (There is no equivalent to the peristrata for skills, so,

sadly, these cannot be taught in any useful manner but must be learned from

manuals in the usual way.)

The student must be resting to muster the proper concentration. Also, both

the teacher and student must pay close attention, not sleeping or fighting or

talking, for the duration of the lesson.

A skilled teacher can as much as double the amount of knowledge his student

is able to pry from a book. The teacher also benefits from successful

teaching - after successfully teaching a spell to enough students, his own

ability at that skill will improve very slightly, even above the maximum

that can otherwise be achieved.
