* HedgeMage: Many practitioners Awaken by coming across a copy of ''Essentials'' and undergoing the Awakening ritual. Since the information in ''Essentials'' is mostly basic, independently Awakened practitioners have little in the way of formal training and everything they learn tends to be through trial and error or via deals with established practitioners or Others if someone doesn't take them on as a mentor or they enroll at a WizardingSchool.

It's for this reason that malicious Others and users of rapacious Practices such as Necromancy tend to prey on Innocents that live on the edges of society, such as the homeless, who are less likely to be believed.
