Editing Dabbling (section)

==Methodology==
Dabbling is rather dangerous, since you're interacting with Others without either the protections [[Innocence]] can bring, or the magical knowledge and power to protect yourself. However, it does offer more flexibility than ordinary practice, and dabblers often serve to cover bases that are being neglected by their allies.

Dabbling includes everything from [[Shamanism]] to [[Diabolism]] and everything in-between, with the primary point being that they neither excel nor flourish in the field they're practicing. Recently inducted practitioners without much support can be called dabblers. This includes: people who get recruited after surviving an encounter with Others or cursed item, people who were being prepared to replace another practitioner but were prematurely thrust into the magical world, and [[Innocence|innocent people]] who have managed to buy a copy of ''Essentials''.<ref name='dab'/><ref name="Kayleigh"/>

Dabbling is frowned upon by some practitioners, due to the fact that it is dangerous and leads to more mistakes if you aren't careful, and the practitioner isn't showing commitment and trying to master a specific field (even if they have more proficiency in one than another.)<ref name=":1" />
