The idea is that lingomancy is an obsession, and there's only so many times
that the people you know will tolerate you talking to them so often that
they'll stick around to listen, much less participate.

I keep seeing the magick schools as obsessions, and therefore something that
is hard to pull away from. People will notice if you're pierced and tattooed
to the foreskin, or if you're permanently on the border of a D.T., or if
every time they see you they want to talk to you, if just for a minute.

Even so, I'd make the charge getting a little harder. I seem to have lost
the original posting of the school, but if I recall correctly, a significant
charge is just for keeping a conversation for an hour. Does it say anything
about having the person that you are taking with being an active participant
as well? I talk with my mother every so often, but with the stuff that she
tells me, I can hardly get in a word edgewise, so my participation is pretty
much limited to assenting grunts, and "OK"s, and laughing outbursts at
appropriate times.
