Yes.
Edit 1: And no. It depends on your approach, and how much of the intellect ties into other abilities or skills.
Edit pi: I'll be online tomorrow, if the park group or Souls posts. I won't be on Sunday, so I won't reply until Tuesday if you post after I log off on Saturday.

I'm just trying to figure out how much "magic" is done in CK2 alchemy, and how much is hardcore drugs, what sort of gadgets and gizmos he may invent as a Hermeticist, and whether or not to have the Babel fish translate his speech as ye olde english due to him growing up in olden times.

My viking was originally from a ck2 game, but his home has been changed to my own alt history and worldbuilding. CK2 is strange about its magic. It never really confirmed if it works or if its just belief, but that dlc pretty much did. it depends on your character here though, if its actually a divine gift then yes, if its natural aptitude it might be better put somewhere else.

What he has on his person or near him.
- MAGICAL ITEMS
These are treated just like spells. You can combine more than one spell into an item, but the culmination of all those spells can not be greater than 4.- PERSONAL ITEMS
These are what your character has on their person when they enter the game. These are not magical or supernatural. If it's not listed, your character does NOT have it.- Equipment
These are things your character would need in order to do their job after they arrive. Someone arriving in power armor would need a charging station, for example. Do not worry about weapons or ammo - the organization has plenty to spare. Likewise, do not worry about a laptop. If you feel your character will need something unique (from the time period she comes from) in order to thrive, mention it in this section.

My character, being themassive fucking nerdgenius that he is, will no doubt require several tomes on various things, primarily on astronomy, and alchemy (alchemy being a very loose term for "how to herbally and homeopathically heal yourself, find various things such as metals and animals). I tentatively placed them under "magical" items because the ingredients could be used for magical things, it's just that Yedder doesn't possess a lick of it. Said magical items (aside from the Eudaemonic Draught, as it is a craftable item) would be also technically equipment, but be used for far more magical things than other books. Similar to how a doctor, while knowing much about medicine, may still need to consult the books because he simply can't remember them all. I hope this is acceptable.
If also possible, I would like to have his first manuscript also be there, perhaps as a housewarming gift. Said manuscript merely is about how stars are consistent in their pattern, and correlation between times and seasons, as well as (inaccurate) calculations on distance and size of said stars.

If you're looking for an academic of some kind, I don't think we have any finance prodigies...or mathematicians...or architects...or paleontologists...or geologists...or neuroscientists...or urban planners...or astrophysicists.
Though I'm running on not much sleep so I might not remember that we have at least one of those, or that I might have missed something. Did you plan to stick with the astronomy idea / where are you now?
