Magical Pilgrimage Generator

Guide to Zeitgeist'''(credit to James Aulds).

James Says: So, The magic user in your game wants to learn some new spells and they cant find anyone to teach them. get a list from them of spells they want to learn/research up to level 5 spells. heres a random table to help do a PbP or a single session. it makes them jump through some hoops but is fun and not just a dice roll to see if they research one and learn it and takes thinking over consumed gems and materials. I could also see this to explain or narrate a drug trip.
