Which brings me to a point I've been waiting to make:

In my game, all Birthright True Wizards are channelers, but Those
who control Sources and Ley-lines can add the level of the source to
their own level to determine the exhaustion rating. I think that fits
well to the simbiotic relationship I've read about with true mages and
sources.

Additions?
