Having read this about cabals for years I decided to do something else. Skipped the cookie-cutter role and made one I really liked with a good reason to join mfc (My favourite cabal). What I have found is that the Imm's responds well to this. Perhaps not at the pace I would like, but responds well. For instance, joining Masters at level 40 would be a bitch, but I am sure if you played well and consistent you could. The problem is that often you have to find one specific Imm and He/She will handle it from there. Then you are basically stuck with Empowerment squared.
Most would think you a moron for doing anything but the normal thing and try to make your life miserable. All along you have to wait for the Imm to grant you this or that wish. So you roleplay your case and hope for the best, but with time it will get boring and the idea that use to be so cool will lose it's appeal.

Now I am rambling so Ill quit,
