The references to the subject of "raising abilities" on pg. 72 & 82 are erroneous. As stated on page 158 of Castle Falkenstein, when creating a Dramatic Persona, you do not raise abilities (i.e. upgrade a Good to an Exceptional). Rather, you purchase an additional Exceptional by taking two additional Poors. This is the official ruling on this subject; if you run the numbers in "Hard Numbers Falkenstein", you will find that they work when you purchase additional abilities, but do not balance out when you upgrade existing abilities. The total of the numerical scores of your abilites should always equal 4 during the creation of your Dramatic Persona. Later, through improvement, this total can vary.
Pg. 72, example should read:
Q: Let's say I want my detective to have Exceptional Perception. I take two
additional Poors. Am I raising an already Good Perception to Exceptional,
or am I adding a new ability, i.e., is it three Poors, three Goods, a Great
and an Exceptional; or three Poors, four Goods, a Great and an
Exceptional?
A: The latter. You are adding an Exceptional ability and two Poor abilities
to your starting compliment of one Great, four Goods, and one Poor.
So, now your Detective's abilities are three Poors, four Goods, a Great
and an Exceptional.
Pg. 82, paragraph four. As stated above, the reference to "raising" abilities when creating your Dramatic Persona is erroneous. See the corrected example above.
Sorcerors with Good Sorcery or better can perceive the threads of Thaumic Energy used
to cast spells simply by concentrating. The higher his Sorcery ability, the easier and
better he can perceive these threads. Similarly, by concentrating in the same fashion, a
Sorceror can look at another Sorceror, detect if he is casting a spell by observing the
Thaumic Threads, and even tell what kind of spell (i.e. what suit the magick is), if not
what exact spell (if it is known to him) the other is casting. The range for this is line
of sight, aided or unaided (thus this could be done via scrying). To determine the
difficulty of this feat, count the number of ranks difference between the two character¹s
sorcery skills. Then, count that number up the ranks from Average, and this is the
difficulty. If the difference is negative (i.e. a superior Sorceror is observing a
lower-skilled mage), the difference is zero.
Example 1: Christophe, with a Sorcery of Good, is watching Morrolan, who has a
Sorcery of Extraordinary, cast a spell. The number of ranks of difference between them is
three (Good to Great, Great to Exceptional, Exceptional to Extraordinary), so the
difficulty of determining what kind of spell Morrolan is casting is (Average plus three
ranks is Good, Great, Exceptional) Exceptional.
Example 2: In the same situation above, Dragon Lord Verithrax, who has an
Exceptional Sorcery, is also observing Morrolan. The number of ranks of difference between
them is one (Exceptional to Extraordinary), so the difficulty of determining what kind of
spell Morrolan is casting is (Average plus one rank is Good) Good. Verithrax, as a Dragon,
knows all Lore, so he will also know what spell Morrolan is casting.
Example 3: Morrolan then asks Christophe to cast a spell Morrolan has been teaching
him. Morrolan watches to see if Christophe is getting it right. The number of ranks of
difference between them is negative three (Extraordinary to Exceptional, Exceptional to
Great, Great to Good), so the difference is zero, and the difficulty is (Average plus zero
ranks is Average) Average.
This does not conflict with the Cantrip Sense Magick (Comme Ill Faut, pg.
91), which allows the caster to sense that magick that has been worked in the past.
