B292-294 has rules for gaining gaining points in skills based upon time spent studying them, but I'd like some advice on how they'd apply to the Recover Energy spell.

Obviously Recover Energy should be treated as Learning on the Job, but then the question becomes what fraction percentage of a characters life counts as studying/practicing the Recover Energy spell? If you restrict it to just waking hours, that's 16 hours a day, or 4 hours into the study bank. Now the default for Mages seems to be Magery 3, which means 140 hours, or 35 days, results in a single point put into the spell.

This might not seem like much, and the Recover Energy spell stops giving benefits after you get it to level 20. The problem is that it still keeps raising your point total for free and this affects the power level of any Allies you might have!

So what percentage of hours in a Mages life do people think should count.
