[UA] Lavomancy

[Cassady Toles]

You may have gotten this six times already, but it's waaaaay too easy to get
charges.  Yes it's easy to lose them, but lets look at this:

  Generate a Significant Charge:
  Take over an hour cleaning something really dirty. 
  Scrub the men's bathroom at the Texaco until the
  porcelain gleams.  Whitewash your fence and trim the
  grass until your yard looks like a showroom.  Give
  your old chevy pick-up that new car feel and smell
  (repainting it if it has rust spots.)  Generally
  retreive order from chaos in any given liberal arts
  professor's office.

In any other school that would be a minor charge condition.  If you get a
menial job as a window washer (likely for an OU dropout) you can get eight
sig. charges per day while you make money.

And then consider this one:
  
  Generate a Major Charge
  Ritual cleanse, spiritually and physically, an
  important occult object or place that you have gained
  access to by open and honest (i.e. cleanly) means. 
  You don't have to own the object or place in question,
  but the owners have to know you're there and what
  you're doing with it.  Stealing such an object or
  taking over such a place by force is out of the
  question (unless a holy war is involved.)
  
I can only imageine this conversation between bob the PC dipsomancer and
louanne the PC lavomancer.

louanne:  Hey bob, can I wash your cup for you?

bob:  sure

louanne gains a major charge...

We'll skip the fact that it isn't clear what the school does, or what the
paradox is or anything else, but we'll focus on the fact that unless spells
cost a lot of charges, a minor charge can be acquired in any lavatory in two
minutes and a sig in the same in one hour...
