So I set her abilities in 1613 (or any other date before 1620) by what theirs are? Fair enough. As long as she doesn't end up with a nasty step up or down from 1619 to 1620.

I know, but they generally pick an amount of time that makes sense for what happens in it. Not beginner to master in a month, say.
