Memory's Teacher

This spell is a part of the Lost Memories spell chain and is found in the Lost Memories rune stone.

The praeteriamancer has always learned differently than other mages. Where others study texts and practice techniques in isolation, the praeteriamancer has access to something no library can provide - the memories of the actual people who wrote those texts, preserved by Memory with perfect fidelity, available to be called forward and asked directly. Not read about. Spoken with. Learned from in the most immediate and personal sense possible. Memory's Teacher is the praeteriamancer doing exactly that, and sharing that experience with their friends.

When this spell is cast the praeteriamancer reaches through Memory  for knowledge, and Memory settles around the caster and their allies, recalling memories of experts and masters. The memories correct mistakes, give insight, and enhance the rate that the praeteriamancer and their allies learn and grow. There is no one physically there, no one to speak to or ask questions of. Instead it is Memory recalling the memories of the experts, and that memory for a brief time becoming one and the same with the praeteriamancer and their allies. This accelerates everything. For the duration the praeteriamancer and their allies gain 50% more experience points from every action, every battle, every moment that would normally teach them something, Memory's guidance compressing years of learning into hours, their insight cutting directly to what matters most in any given lesson. Memory becomes the teacher and through Memory the students learn faster than they would have before. When the spell ends Memory returns within the praeteriamancer's Runic Soul, their work for this session complete. The praeteriamancer and their allies are left slightly more capable than they were, not dramatically, not all at once, but measurably and genuinely better, in the way that all true learning leaves its mark.
