Least favourite occult

My least favorite is Vampires, because I’m just not into vampire lore. My favorite is Spellcasters, even though I have issues with the way they were developed. I personally prefer magic to be either innate(with some learning to perfect) or learned/conferred, not some weird hybrid of both. In RoM, any old human can become a spellcaser just by going to the realm and having the ability conferred on them by a Sage, but then we have rankings based on bloodlines and spellcaster babies, which implies some innate, rather than learned, ability. I’ve reconciled this contradiction by assuming that the mote trial is actually a test for recessive innate ability, which is then activated by a Sage, allowing the student to study and perfect their ability as a practicing spellcaster. That may actually be what was intended, but it certainly wasn’t clear. I also would like to have some more dangerous spells.
