These are skills based on interaction and intuition rather than on mental acuity. Any social skill is a Soul skill, as are most artistic skills.

If you're an adept, your school of magick is a Soul skill. But don't just write down "Magick" by itself—include ths school title, like Magick: Entropomancy, Magick: Cliomancy, and Magick: Dipsomancy. If you're not sure yet, go ahead and write down "Magick" on the character sheet. Just make sure and change it to the name of your school of magick once you know what it is.

Another rule for adepts: Your school of Magick is your obsession skill, you get Cherries. These are special effects triggered whenever you roll a successful match on your Magick roll. You assign a cherry to each match, so that 11 has its cherry, a 33 has its cherry, and so on.
