The Didactic Tradition knowledge comes from a record that is remembered in a certain way and can be traced back directly to an original source and passed down, and it is well documented in format to be consumed and understood. In fact, documentation is its primary means of continuation. It is a series of records from a Primer, collective/Institution, or a master/apprentice tradition. Using this tradition, Effort, Effect and the shape of the results are all managed through the mystic exponent.
Requirements: The source of the knowledge must share a communication method i.e. the same spoken or written language at a minimum level of Conversational.
Outcomes:
The tradition most often uses the Arcane Reservoir.
The student learning from this tradition, without using a record themselves, must be able to hold all the knowledge in memory. They can commit these to a recorded format later if they learn how to.
The output of a tutored learning pathway is a Primer and further volumes – such as an Occult Codex or Folio, etc. The book is how you learn and record spells, not intuitively like a sorcerer or warlock default. The Codex reflects the Occult Primer’s Knowledge Outcome and the tradition/perspective under which they practiced – translating it to something others could use is difficult. Such materials, especially those using advanced formulae and spells in the Magic Traditions using inscribed materials often employ Elderune as a cipher for mystic texts. This prevents the actual reading of the inscriptions from triggering an effect that only a reader with the right Affinity would have. Cursed and/or Hostile items will still operate on a trigger, it’s the perfect deciphering and/or understanding that prevents the reader from evincing any powers/capabilities of the text.
