"Very well, Grasshopper." says Fleintoore. "We offer an exquisite array of services unique to Throne City that you will not find anywhere else in Elanthia. There's far too much detail to even briefly review, so ask me about ERASING, SLOTS, or the LIBRARY, and I'll be happy to explain more on any subject. Bear in mind that these services are not cheap and require a considerable amount of time to acquire." Fleintoore grows quiet, patiently awaiting you to make a choice.<br/>

Fleintoore nods and says, "Spell erasure is unique process in which our scribes help you forget the knowledge of spells you may no longer wish to keep. This will free up a spell slot in your spellbook. You may not erase a spell that is a prerequisite for other spells you already know -- for example, you may not erase Shadows if you know Focus Moonbeam.

[Maginius Kaentao Maous, Spell Library]
Tall, elegant columns carved like intermingled two-headed serpents rise to the ceiling, which itself is a dizzying distance above. Circular shelves contain thousands upon thousands of books, most of which are off-limits to the casual browser. Scribes constantly scurry here and there, cataloging and arranging the contents. Near the entrance is a red velvet partition, where those visitors interested in viewing books up close have to register. You also see the Archmagus Fleintoore, and an elegant rosewood sign. Obvious exits: northwest, out. 


   --== Maginius Kaentao Maous:  Exclusive Spell Services ==--

We offer two special services for magicians of all types: 

 * Spell Erasure -- we can retrain you to forget spells you no longer
                    desire.  The price of this service is subject to
                    variable fees, please discuss your options with

                    you access to our library for one hour's time.
                    Our library contains volumes you will not find
                    anywhere else in Elanthia.

      ASK ARCHMAGUS FLEINTOORE ABOUT SERVICES for more details.

Services of Archmagus Fleintoore

"Very well, Grasshopper." says Fleintoore. "We offer an exquisite array of services unique to Throne City that you will not find anywhere else in Elanthia. There's far too much detail to even briefly review, so ask me about ERASING or the LIBRARY, and I'll be happy to explain more on any subject. Bear in mind that these services are not cheap and may require a considerable amount of money to acquire." Fleintoore grows quiet, patiently awaiting you to make a choice.

The fee for this service is partially subsidized by the guilds and is variable based on a number of factors.
