I bet this is something easy I've missed but I want to get everyone's vote on it to be certain I have it right.

Let's say a player has spellcasting from their Class (Sorc), and another from an Archetype (Wiz). Sorc's Key ability is Charisma, and what they use to cast spells. Wizard's Key is Intelligence.

When casting spells, my understanding rules as written is that the spellcasting modifier they use would be Charisma regardless if they're casting Wizard spells or Sorc spells, because the magic is coming from their "class" even though it's a Feat. (Core pg. 447 "If your Class grants you spellcasting, use your key ability modifier.")

I'm clarifying this interpretation is correct, would make things a lot simpler for me and my players. I'm struggling with it a lot given previous rules systems I learned growing up. Thank you!

Just started running Kindled Magic. There's so much cool narrative direction in this, so many opportunities to offer the players. But I find myself wondering how much time is passing in between any of the events past the perquisite activities in the the first part. In addition, when and where do the players receive material to study by the second part? Is there any academic incentive for them to be studying already?

An idea I'm playing around with is the idea of a syllabus and/or a calendar, but I'm afraid to introduce an asset like this in case the AP drops something similar or contradictory. Any DM's or players want to share what they have happening with their table?
