Updated 2 column to using multicol

Previously was defined in the document, and one of my tables was not
going to work with the 2 column format.

This makes things a little more difficult to work, but it currently is
working well enough.  All floating elements must be full width.  I can't
find a solution to this.

advantage after Hero Creation, you may only do so with a Hero Story.
Note: You may have noticed that Sorcery is listed twice in several
Backgrounds such as Knight Errant or Hexe. This isn't a typo! Unlike
most other Advantages you may select Sorcery more than once, gaining
additional or stronger abilities as a result of your continued study in
the magical arts.
There are cases where this may occur twice. Please see {\it 7$^{th}$ Sea Core Rulebook Second Edition}.

That said, this may become something that parts or the entirety of it will get in the hands of my players, or people who find it some other way. I may at some point decide to publish it.
As I am writing this very brief introduction I have something written about Characters, specifically the start of a single Character. I don't really know where it will go beyond that.
