== Learning Spirit Magic ==
Learning Spirit Magic: (via RQ3) you learn this by having a spirit summoned and defeating it in POW vs POW combat. The spirit has Xd3 POW, where X is the number of points in the spell. So, a spirit that knows Disruption (1) has a POW 1d3 and is easy to defeat, and thus learn the spell from. A spirit that knows Bladesharp 6 has a POW 6d3 has an average POW 12 and thus is not nearly as easy to defeat to learn a spell from. 

Learning from cults: lay member, initiates, rune lords, acolytes, and priests can learn cult spells from within the friendly confines of temple. The spirits are friendly, so there's nothing bad that happens if you fail to defeat the spirit and learn the spell. You go in offer a sacrifice of X Lunars per point of spell, the spirit is summoned and you try to learn the spell. Specific cost depends on the characters status. There's no prohibition against learning more than 1 spell/day, but you should offer a little extra more sacrifice (tip) for additional spells in the same day. (Note that powerful spirits will most likely drain you and you will need to rest before proceeding anyway.)

Variable spells: you must learn these sequentially. Learning Protection 4 from scratch requires first learning Protection 1, then learning Protection 2, then Protection 3, and finally Protection 4. It's four different spells that layer. (Still takes 4 Int to know them. This is just time and money.)

Cults teach spirit magic to anyone from friendly cults. It's just at a discount as you move up in the ranks.

It costs 10 L per point for spells, assuming you became a lay member. It costs 5 L per point for cults you're already initiated to.
