Notes on Magic
At the very least, pre-certification must be obtained in a type of magic before ANY spells can be purchased. Even if your character does not have certification from the city, you must purchase certs on your character sheet to reflect the instruction necessary to learn magic.
During character creation, you may ONLY purchase a la carte spells from a certification level you already have or from the level directly above it.
After character creation, any spells learned must be taught or studied; GM permission is necessary for all spell purposes or level-ups.

Please note: Most types of magic will not adequately conform to the standard certification process (at least, not now). The availability of spells is highly dependent on school, style and even individual teacher. While I intend to work on this section, for now please speak directly to your GM. When purchasing, assume:
Level 1: Pre-Certification
Level 2: Apprentice
Level 3: Journeyman
Level 4: Adept
