Magic Lore

From Project: Redcap

Magic Lore is an Arcane Ability that covers knowledge of magical creatures, areas, and traditions. It does not cover Hermetic magic theory, which falls under a separate Ability. Most magi do not need a knowledge of Magic Lore but it can occasionally be useful.

Uses of Magic Lore

Magic Lore is potentially useful for identifying magical creatures, understanding the powers and limitations of a particular kind of hedge magic, and perhaps in finding Magical Auras or vis.

Magic Lore is actually used in certain kinds of hedge magic, such as Enriching an Object of Virtue.
