			Atheneum have their advantages, however. A
			player may roll Intelligence + Atheneum against a
			varying difficulty to find occult knowledge or magical secrets. The player and the Storyteller should
			work together before play begins and determine
			what sort of information a given Atheneum contains (a
			book pilfered from the Papal library is unlikely to
			contain information on summoning demons, although one never knows...). Also, a mage can
			increase her own mystical understanding with a
			Atheneum. When the player wishes to spend experience to increase a Pillar, she may roll Library
			(difficulty 8); each success reduces the experience cost by one.

			This extremely rare Background grants a mage a
			number of physical sources of knowledge from which
			to learn. Typically, this means books or scrolls, but
			some Spirit-Talkers learn from art on cave walls and
			carvings their ancestors left for them to find. Paper
			is rare in the Dark Medieval age, and many of the
			ancient drawings have faded or been destroyed, so
			Library is expensive; each dot of Library costs two
			Background points or two bonus points.
