(The ones they don't tell you about when you apply...)
The courses listed below are to help new avatars and refresh old ones
in the different ways to help newbies. The courses run for a duration
of three weeks of part time study or field work.
Each course is taught on a one to one basis by a god and requires a one
thousand word essay (entitled "Why I want to help newbies, am I sane?")
to be handed in at the end. A large part of the course is built around
practical work (bringing newbies back to life and advising real
newbies, not the tame kind) and there is some minor course reading involved.
Course Books:
Young Corpses, New Life.
This book details the appropriate way to phase in to help a recently
deceased newbie. It starts with a section about checking the weather
first so you don't die by the same tornado that killed the newbie, and
contains advice so that you don't phase into the group of ten troll
captains on the newbie's trade run. There are also a number of useful, but
often ignored, pieces of advice, such as the correct way to hold your gem of
souls.
