Learning New Numina: Psychics are restricted to one or two numina in character generation. On Tempest we will have no 'Generalist' numina types who know a little bit of every numina. Numina cannot be taught by other player characters, but is developed through RP and IC events. In some situations, handled on a case by case basis, staff may devise a TP or other means for a character to learn a new numina, but this will be rare.
* Numina Learning Times: Psychics may learn one level of numina every two months if they are mentored by someone with a higher level of that numina. Without this mentorship, they are restricted to one numina every three months. This learning process can be concurrent with whatever other XP spends you desire to initiate.
** NOTE: The time taken to raise Faith Pools is handled on a case by case basis. Some lengths must usually be taken to gain in this area, including extensive roleplay, and perhaps time off of the grid.
