Professions
Every profession a Messalith recruit can have: the skills it gives at Prime, its attribute nudges, and the psychic discipline it leans toward.
A recruit's profession sets their knowledge skills and nudges their attributes. It also gives an affinity: the discipline it leans toward, which counts 2 times when their primary discipline is rolled.
Skills are listed as they stand at Prime. Age moves the highest ones up or down, and a hobby adds 1 to one random skill outside the profession (2 if it was at nothing).
