Everything

You’ve got knowledge and experience that can benefit other people, so you share it as freely as you can. This might involve having a single pupil, apprentice or protégé, or it could involve several people learning what you have to teach. More than simply a teacher, though, you make a personal investment in your student’s progress. An instructor can leave the classroom at the end of the day, but a Mentor’s role might last for life.

Dedication is your source of strength. It’s important to you that other people share in what you have to offer. Because you care about the results, and probably about the students too, you’ll put yourself out there in surprising ways. (See the Background: Mentor for certain effects of a mentor /student bond.)

On the other hand, you can be Pedantic. Lecturing becomes a habit, with every circumstance providing an opportunity for more lessons. Occasionally, even the most accomplished teacher must step out from behind the podium. Your potential for Ascension depends in part upon humanity, and that’s a hard thing to hang on to when you’re always in the Professor role. (There’s also a great potential to develop problematic and possibly unethical bonds with your protégé, but that’s an entirely different sort of lesson to learn.)
