No, you have to learn them seperately. It *DOES* however have your Sorcery
skill at the time of it's creation.

BAD QUESTION!!! TERRIBLE!!! No go think little thoughts over *there*...

Honestly though, I wouldn't allow it. HOWEVER, if there was some kind of way
to perform it like an "iron" bodied homoculi, then it might actually work. I
don't know, I guess I really don't know how I'd react to the idea.

Depends entirely upon the ordeal and the GM's ruling. Thesis, in theory,
could be repeated many times. But, given the idea for how we rule that one,
it's only used every so often instead of all the time.

Metaplanar Quest (NOT Vision Quest) could be used multiple times, and
theoretically is the faster of the quests that I recall immediately.

Oath- No

Ally- technically again yes, but THAT would get really expensive karmically
speaking.

the rest would really be up to GM's call IMO.

Hermetics must venture to each appropriate metaplanar correspondence (water-
Illusion, fire-combat, etc...). Shamans can only go to the metaplane of their
totem, and then can only learn spells of their immediate benefit (thus, no
Coyote Quests).

Beyond that, again, IMO, GM's call.
