Editing Wild Practitioner (section)

Wild Practitioners are unusual in the modern era and not very well-known.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":2">“Okay, now I’m bothered.  What’s your deal?” Yadira asked.  “Who are you guys?  What’s the arrangement?  Who sponsored you into the school?  And who’s your patron, since Mr. Belanger said you’re wild practitioners.  And I had to go look that up.  I know they’re powerful, because there have been a few times you guys showed off some ''casual'' power.  Not ''Mrs. Durocher'' power, obviously, but power like I know Raquel’s cousin has, or like the Vanderwerfs.”<br><br>Verona exchanged looks with Lucy and Avery.<br><br>“It me,” Snowdrop mumbled, face buried in her arm, other hand raised.  “I’m the all powerful sponsor.”<br><br>“Somehow I don’t believe that.”<br><br>“I’m a top tier Other.  Very menacing.  Apex, like my shirt says.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/11/03 Excerpt] from [[Cutting Class 6.3]]</ref>

They're usually fairly powerful, given the backing of their [[patron]](s).<ref name=":0" /> But will also tend to have gaps in their knowledge based on the quality of their teachers; some Other will just assume knowledge inherent to them is shared by the newly awakened humans.<ref>“I think [the blue heron institute] reinforce it at the start of every class, when they’re teaching students to open gates and portals.  This might be more of an issue of, uh, learning like you guys seem to have learned.”<br><br>“How’s that?” Avery asked.<br><br>“You’re learning lots of individual, little things from specific Others.  Maybe some of this is second nature to them, to the extent they think you should be able to feel or know some of this already.  But more likely, they don’t run into it because they work with a single discipline.  Lost stuff for your Lost Other, spirit stuff for Edith, Oni stuff for the… well, she’s more likely to be cross-discipline.  And they don’t open the big doorways or pathways in the way we do.”- [[https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/08/03 Excerpt]] from [[Summer Break 13.1]]</ref>

They're regarded as tending to be "unruly".<ref name=":0" />
