I think you should pick a totem just not get the bonuses and also
not get the
minuses. Your also going to need somewhat of a Hermetic library.

But if your selecting priority A magic you should get almost all the
metamagic abilities... (that would make it worth initiating) and don't
you get extra dice equal to your initiate level?
