Use Circles

Use Circles Mystic Proficiency [Knowledge] 180 hours Requires: Arcane Symbols

You can use circles made by others. This spell does not include knowledge of how to create circles, only in their use. However, the Game Master may allow you to use this skill to study a discovered circle to try and determine how to create it yourself. A circle that has already been activated—such as most protective circles—may be understood and used automatically. A circle that is not currently active—such as a summoning circle—may be activated if the mage can determine the correct ritual by the circle itself; this requires a skill check. A successful skill check also allows you to determine the nature and use of a circle prior to stepping in it.
