What determines the research ability of your pretender?

[Saber Cherry]

Research ability is (2) + (sum of all magic paths except holy and unholy) + (4 points for being a sage)+(1 per experience star) + (1 per magic scale or -1 per drain scale) + (3 points for having an owl quill) + (9 points for having a skull mentor)

The best research pretender, therefore, is probably the Great Sage. He's a steal, at 5 DP aboe the Archmage...
