Like magical schools, fighting styles must be taught by someone who already knows them, with both student and teacher spending a downtime action for this purpose. More than that, however, Advanced styles can ONLY be taught by someone who has completely mastered the school itself, achieving level 6 in it. The character must also meet the skill requirements before initiation. Once the basics are taught, a character may progress through the skill with no further training needed. See Chapter 6, Advanced Styles for more information.
