MY question is, does AC have the talent for Belkan and Senshi magic, or is this a feature of The Gauntlet?
Actually, never mind -- she obviously does. The real question is, will AC explore and train these new abilities? I can imagine her ignoring Senshi magic entirely in favour of studying Belkan and Midchildan casting. The reason, if I recall correctly, that Midchildan mages need an Intelligent Device is to handle the computations needed for Midchildan spells, which implies a relatively large quantity of Real Science involved. I can easily imagine AC preferring Difficult But Interesting when it comes to magic.
