"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.

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. For practical purposes, you may not erase a spell that is a prerequisite for other spells you already know -- for example, you may not erase Lightning Bolt if you know Chain Lightning. The fee for this service is partially subsidized by the guilds and is variable based on a number of factors. You'll no doubt be happy to know that we donate five percent of all sales of this service to the continued restoration and beautification of historic Throne City. If you decide on a spell you wish to forget, we'll sit down together and calculate the fee."<br /> |

On December 25, 2007, DR-ARMIFER posted cost calculations for Spell Erasure [http://www.play.net/forums/messages.asp?forum=20&category=1&topic=1&message=2309]. Summary: |

: All charges apply. |

===[[Exclusive Library]]=== |
|||
On February 19, 2009, DR-ARMIFER clarified what factors into the coin cost for Spell Erasure [http://www.play.net/forums/messages.asp?forum=20&category=4&topic=16&message=10341] and [http://www.play.net/forums/messages.asp?forum=20&category=4&topic=16&message=10343]. |

{{tt|ASK Archmagus Fleintoore about LIBRARY}} |
|||
Fleintoore glances toward the other room. "We have one of the most extensive libraries known in all of Elanthia. In addition to having copies of books you may find elsewhere, we have several volumes that we at Maginius Kaentao Maous alone possess. These are extremely rare volumes and we do not allow just anyone to read them, so we must ask a fee of two platinum lirums to enter our library for two anlaen."<br /> |
|||
Base fee for the service is directly related to your circle. The higher up you are in the guild, the more he feels he can wring out of you. |
|||
[To purchase this service, type {{tt|CHOOSE LIBRARY}}. You will be charged two(2) platinum lirums for two anlaen (or ONE HOUR of real time). There is no TDP cost for this service. {{tt|ASK FLEINTOORE ABOUT BOOKS}} to get a list of books available in the library at this time.] |
|||
After that, Charisma applies a discount. The more he likes you, the less he feels like taking you for all you're worth. (Random element involved here) |
|||
After that, Premium characters get an additional discount. Because. |
|||
See [[Exclusive Library]] for the books available here. |
|||
Time since your last removal is a binary effect. Either you have gone long enough to get a free ride, or you have not and the full fee applies. |

==Services of Crimson-Robed Mage== |
|||
Alternate spell preparations can be purchased from a '''crimson-robed mage''' located in the Rare Books Room of the [[Exclusive Library]]. These preparations require their related [[Magical feats]] of '''Alternative Spell Preparation''' and/or '''Silent Spell Preparation'''. |

[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.

The price of this service is subject to variable fees, please discuss your options with our staff. * Exclusive Library -- for a mere two(2) platinum, we will allow 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.
