This was my original theory from earlier in the thread, so it seems like I was definitely in the ballpark...
Now I just have to hope it's not also some super special locked off thing like I predicted. Otherwise, I'm going to have a really hard time justifying how the heck my character is supposed to mentor someone else in that art. (That or we may end up needing to ditch the idea almost entirely.) T_T
