Dame Ione is formally calling for volunteers in her mentor program of magics. The program is intended to distribute magics safely to learning casters from like minded good leaning individuals (good and good leaning neut's). People who sign up for mentorship will receive all of the teaching feats free of charge. They will be compensated per lesson they give, with future direction on how to report it. They will participate in Learning Faire's where people can find them to learn on the spot or set up a later lesson. Their names will be advertised for lessons in an index posted here. They will be given the opportunity to choose a special focus spell (Example: A conjurer and summon monsters, a druid and aura of vitality etc) to teach as the master of (via an application of knowledge of the spell, lesson plan and willingness not to abuse the power granted). Active mentors will become Head of House of their guild, which will grant bragging rights and emblem gear. They will have the full backing and protection from Dame Ione herself, and the Mystran Church.

To apply, send a letter to Ione with the following information:

Your name:
Your niche(wiz guild,bard,cleric,druid):

((I am soon to be out of town for my regular trip to my home state, but I should have a little wind down time in the evenings to review these and might begin the index before I come home. If not, index will begin in August. First event will 100% be after I'm home.))

He can teach rare prayers such as aura of vitality, mass drown and call lightning. Lythos has chosen to focus on conjuring greater elementals and will teach this at an accelerated level.

I'm 95% sure I've lost at least one letter so please let me know if I missed you above. Everyone above has their feats and their focus spell at GM.

Keep notes every time you give a lesson, specifics on how many spells and what. Tally it weekly in a letter to Ione.

You will receive payment based on that, from coin to trinkets to trash fun renames.

Please do not withhold any spells unless for genuine IC reasons, in which case drop me a note so I can work something out with the person needing whatever spell it is.

You can teach out of casting things too and they will count as credit to your teaching.

Please send tells to Ione with questions or ping me here. I will use this thread to hold teaching events and company meeting times.

Look for something in the mail in the upcoming days as a badge of belonging to the fold.

Thank you for volunteering. Please have fun.

Update my friends:

The main point of this event was for us to cut back on how teaching was essentially gatekept by these feats.

Going in we knew there were stat requirements but not exactly what.

Turns out, it's kind of miserable, ha.

So here's the deal. If you WANT to change your stats, you can send me a PM with the exchange.

If you do NOT want to change your stats, you can hold a lesson and submit the lesson to us via apps and one of us will load your pupil and set their skill to apprentice.

Teacher 2 requirement is 15, scholar 2 is 15 int AND 14 wis. Proceed as what's best for you.

Is it too late to apply to be a mentor for this ongoing event?

It's not. I've been slower than I would like to have been at making events and prizes for it - I've got some deep stuff going on irl - but the event is ongoing until I'm tired of doing it. :)

I totally get the deep stuff IRL, I'm just getting to starting coming back out of some of mine. Glad to be back
