INITIATION INITIATE

Usage: INITIATE

Initiation is a magician's way of advancement, whether the magician be a shaman, mage, or adept.
When your character is initiated, their magic rating and grade increase by one.

When you reach the requirements for an initiation you can use the INITIATE command to enter the
initiation menu and choose how you wish to spend your initiation. You can either increase your magic 
and gain a metamagic technique, increase your magic and change your astral signature, or shed any 
geas you currently have.

The cost for an initiation is 5 plus the desired grade times 3. So if you wished to initiate to
grade 2 it would cost you (5+2)*3=21.

There is also an additional cost of nuyen and a requirement of TKE.

Requirements are:
            TKE      NUYEN
Grade 1:      0      50000
  "   2:    100      75000
  "   3:    200     125000
  "   4:    400     225000
  "   5:    600     425000
  "  6+:   +200     825000

Nuyen costs do not continue to increase beyond 825000, but karma and TKE requirements do.
