For each month of training, a character can increase their number of knowledge points in these studies according to their knowledge or lack thereof.

		+	Gaining access to this knowledge is granted only to those who already possess great power in the world — monarchs, religious leaders, military leaders, proven philosophers — along with those who have proved their worthiness through deeds. Often, the individual must have already achieved a sagehood in some field of study. In rare cases, persons may be permitted to enter under the sponsorship of a person of this rank, who is ready to stand by the individual as a retainer or an individual under their mentorship.

		+	Cloud giants are meticulous in their selection, and entrance to their schools might require passing a series of grueling intellectual and physical tests. These could include debates, where candidates must engage fluidly in public discourse; engineering challenges, where the individual would be directed to solve an ongoing, pressing problem in the world; or an act of physical endurance, such as climbing a dangerous mountain or surviving the most extreme of elements. A tribute of 60 lbs. of gold or a comparable amount of platinum, mithril or adamantium, is given for each month of training; this must be pure and cannot be in the form of coins.
