Magi Chargen

Magi characters must have been 21-25 years old at Gauntlet. (Thus, 26-30 years old at 1220.)
All the chargen rules in Ars Magica House Rules apply; apply the 'Baseline Skills' house rules immediately after Gauntlet, but before the five additional years
Virtues (or Flaws) that affect Quality of a book, trainer, etc, only applies post-Gauntlet.

Post-Gauntlet:

Advance the magus five years out of Gauntlet
During this period, there are no trainers or teachers available. Each season is either a work season (exposure xp only), studying from books, or Practice seasons (see Ars Magica main book pp. 163-166)
Magi characters may spend time at Nova Semitae as a guest to use its library; however, because the magi don't have much vis to pay for the privilege, they can trade 2 seasons of work (translating lab texts, writing a book, or extracting vis) in exchange for 2 seasons of studying at the library. In this case, you may use the book qualities of the Nova Semitae library for advancement. (Note: if you spent time writing a book, let me know the subject, book quality, and title, since it will be added to the library) You may stay at Nova Semitae all 5 post-Gauntlet years (i.e. 10 seasons of work, 10 seasons of study or private lab work)
If you wish to study at your home covenant, you can do this for the first 2 years after Gauntlet before they cease your access. In this case, you must exchange 1 season of work per year for 3 seasons either studying from the list of books listed below or conducting private laboratory work
All other seasons not studying or working at your home covenant or at Nova Semitae must be considered Practice seasons
Magi can begin correspondences after Gauntlet (if done diligently, this is 20 seasons of Correspondence)

The following are a list of books your magus has access to at his or her home covenant.
