Ok - just curious (and people, please understand that I'm reading all the responses even if I'm not directly responding to them)...

Suppose you have a player whose character does NOT have magery. By dint of adventuring, the player stumbles across a Great Wish.

Can he wish for Magery 1 at 15 point cost (5 for magery 0 plus 10 for magery 1) because it is less than the maximum of 20 points that a Great Wish can confer? Or would you say...

"Sorry, but you can only wish for ONE advantage worth 20 points or less per wish. You can at best, get Magery 0". If your player says "But that's a leveled advantage, at magery 1, that is a single advantage!" how do you respond?

One could argue that Level 0 is an advantage. Level 1 is an advantage, etc.

Last but not least...

Character has Magery 0. Can he gain Magery 2 with a single wish?

Just looking at the implications here. ;) No right answers per se, no wrong answers, just YOUR answer.
