-Knowledge is divided into two distinct categories: physical and cognitive skills. Physical skills revolve around enhancing a student's physical attributes, such as muscle strength, physique, and reflexes, and are crucial for mastering abilities like [[Swimming (sage ability)|swimming]], [[Running (sage ability)|running]], [[Diving (sage ability)|diving]] or [[Climbing (sage ability)|climbing]].  In contrast, cognitive skills necessitate a prerequisite of at least 3 points in the ability to [[Read & Write (sage ability)|read and write]] before instruction can commence. These cognitive skills encompass a broad spectrum, including artistic pursuits, socially relevant disciplines like [[Law & Policy (sage study)|law]], [[Religion|religion]] or the [[Occultism (sage study)|occult]], as well as scientific fields like [[Alchemy (sage study)|alchemy]], [[Geology (sage study)|geology]] and [[Medicine (sage study)|medicine]].

 Gaining a single point of physical knowledge necessitates two weeks of dedicated training. Following this training period, the character undergoes an [[Ability Checks|abilities]] check, evaluating both their [[Strength (ability stat)|strength]] and [[Intelligence (ability stat)|intelligence]].  Successful outcomes in both strength and intelligence checks indicate the character has successfully acquired one point of knowledge. The character is free to repeat this training regimen as many times as needed until they achieve success in both rolls.

 Before assuming the role of a tutor, the character must meet two prerequisites: first, they must hold an amateur status in Instruction; second, their knowledge in the sage ability to be taught must be at least triple the amount that can be granted to the student.  For example, an amateur instructor possessing 10 points of knowledge in swimming could teach up to 3 points of swimming to a student.  Although this may not suffice to elevate the student to amateur status, even a single additional point in many skills can have a significant effect.  A student who already has 3 points of knowledge would need to locate a more proficient instructor to continue his or her studies.
-An instructor's capacity to enhance another character's proficiency in any field is limited to a maximum of 12 points. Once the student has achieved this level of knowledge, any further advancement in the subject must be acquired through personal experience and independent learning.

-Knowledge is divided into two categories: physical and cognitive.  Physical skills relate to training the student's musculature, build and reflexes, for sage abilities such as [[Swimming (sage ability)|swimming]], [[Running (sage ability)|running]], [[Diving (sage ability)|diving]] or [[Climbing (sage ability)|climbing]].  Cognitive skills require 3 pts. in the ability to read and write before other instruction can be given; cognitive instruction may be artistic, such as acquiring artisanal skills; socially relevant, such as skills in [[Law & Policy (sage study)|law]], [[Religion|religion]] or the [[Occultism (sage study)|occult]]; or scientific, such as instruction in [[Alchemy (sage study)|alchemy]], [[Geology (sage study)|geology]] and [[Medicine (sage study)|medicine]].

-A physical knowledge point requires 2 weeks of training, after which the character rolls an [[Ability Checks|abilities check]] in both [[Strength (ability stat)|strength]] and [[Intelligence (ability stat)|intelligence]]; a success in both indicates the character has acquired a point of knowledge.  The character can repeat this training over and over, until succeeding in both rolls.

-A cognitive knowledge point is gained in a similar manner, except that the check is made against the character's [[Intelligence (ability stat)|intelligence]] and [[Dexterity (ability stat)|dexterity]] (artisanal skills), intelligence and [[Charisma (ability stat)|charisma]] (social skills), or intelligence and [[Wisdom (ability stat)|wisdom]] (scientific skills).
+Securing a cognitive knowledge point shares a similar approach, but the evaluation process varies depending on the specific category of cognitive skill being pursued. In the case of artisanal skills, the character's knowledge is assessed through checks involving both their intelligence and [[Dexterity (ability stat)|dexterity]]. Social skills are evaluated through checks combining intelligence and [[Charisma (ability stat)|charisma]], while scientific skills demand checks encompassing intelligence and [[Wisdom (ability stat)|wisdom]]. This diverse approach ensures that cognitive knowledge points are gained through a tailored assessment that aligns with the nature of the skill being acquired.
-Instructors can teach knowledge points to a maximum of eight individuals per week.
