Teaching
Teaching is a way of learning Abilities or Hermetic Arts. A character must have a minimum score of two to teach an Ability and a minimum score of five to teach an Art.
In Ars Magica Fifth Edition, Teaching is a General Ability. The Source Quality from teaching depends on the teacher's Communication score and Teaching score, among other factors (the formula is given on page 164 of ArM5).
A teacher can teach the same subject to more than one student at a time, but gets a bonus if there are only one or two students.
Earlier Editions
In Fourth Edition, teaching was handled by two Acadmeic Abilities: Lectio and Disputatio. Informal teaching (without using Latin) was considered to be Training.
