For an ally to know spells upon it's creation, the spells must be listed in
the all formula, otherwise, once the ally has been created, the mage must go
through the process of designing (or buying) and learning the spell for their
ally (which does mean that an ally could have spells their 'owner' does not
have.

Once the ally has been installed into the inhabitation object making any
changes to it later probably would only require that the 'owner' change the
ally formula to incorporate the change(s) and then perform a ritual to make it
so. However, the enhancements could be installed at the onset, during the
initial creation of the ally.

"Unexplained Genetic Expression," or something someone said when the first
troll came out of the womb and the doc said, "IT's Uge", forgetting to insert
the LY in the ugly.

The only ordeals which can be repeated over and over again are thesis, astral
quest, and mentoring, all others can only be done once (supposedly).

There are no preconditions to going on a quest to learn a spell other than
that the mage needs to have the karma on-hand to learn the spell to begin
with.
