I'm creating a Chorist mage with all of this Christian stuff like crests and the Bible.
And I thought that it's good to take Theology or Belief Systems for my pure quintessence of christianity.
And then I realized that I can't come up with any use of these Abilities.
With others it's all easy. If you had PhD in chemistry but your character has only 1 dot in Science, you pray while rolling Intellect+Science when your character is starting a chemical reaction. Or you don't know physics at all, but your Virtual Adept uses quantum physics for teleportation and you roll 7-8 dices to reduce the difficulty of using Correspondence.
But how to use Theology? Roll Intellegence+Theology to say that Jesus died for our sins? Belief Systems entry said that character with this Knowledge can use the Reality Zones and make his magic seem coincedental. But how? Cause the Reality Zones entrance said "no rolls, you must roleplay it". So it's useless. Even Carousing seems more usefull to "Drink a barrel of beer on a bet and not vomit".
So it's a seems right to represent my mage knowledge by dots in Theology, but I can't find a practical use of it.
And the same question for a lot of others secondary abilities.
