I was tossing this idea around with some friends last night, and
everybody agreed that cliomancy is the closest to a broken school.

On the upside, the slow and steady pace with which clios gather charges
makes it easy to disrupt them by any kind of action sequences--in
practice, they seem to generally get about 1 charge a day, which
interruption/conflict or travel can easily disrupt.

Also, no blast is a real setback.  

A GM has to take care to judge their words...if they say, "oh, two weeks
pass..." and nothing has happened b/f the next session, they must be
prepared for a highly charged clio.  OTOH, clios will play more
conservative as there is less chance for in-play recharging.
