College Fragments

Introduction

The magical abilities described here were granted to some characters in the campaign through deep magics. The abilities are intended as fragments of lost colleges, or magic that may once have been part of the standard DQ colleges but has been forgotten since ancient days.

The abilities were granted as new knowledge that had to be studied, and the following rules applied:

the abilities gained were considered “unranked”, and could not be used until they were raised to Rank 0.

the standard time to do this was 1 week (+1 per 100 EM or part thereof) for each of the talents, spells or rituals.

it was self-training and did not require a tutor.
there was no SP cost for self study.
the knowledge did not expire -- if an ability was ranked and then somehow lost (e.g. creeping senility) it could be restudied and raised again to Rank 0.
the abilities were all unteachable.
the abilities would be considered (for that character alone) to be an extension of their standard College, and subject to the same cast bonuses and restrictions.

this made more sense for some of the fragments than for others, but it was done this way for simplicity.
