Education ♦ represents the amount of formal education you have had. It is a basic measure of overall well-rounded "book learning", and is the closest thing in Castle Falkenstein to an Intelligence stat. It represents how well you can comprehend the latest Science! as well as determines how many languages you can speak (and how fluently you can speak them). In the Layflat Castle Falkenstein campaign, the Natural Sciences ability is rolled into Education. Reference: Castle Falkenstein Core Book p160
