(I updated the timing of the crimson-robed mage and added whether the preps were alternate/silent. Also did some clean up.)

If you go into the Exclusive Library at just before dusk, or late afternoon (based on the {{com|TIME}} verb), and wait near [[Fleintoore]], you will see a crimson-robed mage walk past.
A crimson-robed mage enters the Exclusive Library sometime in the mid-afternoon, staying in the Rare Books Room, which is through the door. He leaves around late afternoon.

A wide cowl covers his features, but from what you can tell about the crimson-robed mage, he has dark circles around both eyes and deeply tanned skin. This information is revealed only ever-so-briefly as he adjusts his position to read a particular tome or gazes up at one of the four statues in the area. Edging his robe are black flames and various Warrior Mage sigils, but around his neck are several specifically Lunar accoutrements. Precisely to which of the two guilds he belongs is a mystery.

A crimson-robed mage whispers, "There is nothing you need to know of me nor my kind. However..." He pauses, eyeing you carefully as he adjusts his cowl. "Perhaps I can be of assistance in the ways of magic." With that cryptic comment delivered, he turns back to his tome.

A crimson-robed mage whispers, "From these rare tomes, I've learned six different spell preparation techniques that I am willing to share with those simply bold enough to ask. My knowledge is not cheap. If the technique is not one natural to your guild, it will cost fifty platinum lirums. If it is natural to your guild, the cost is a mere ten platinum lirums. Ask me about preparing and I will explain more."

The mage continues in hushed tones. "If any of these interest you, we can make a deal. However, my knowledge is not cheap. If the technique is not one natural to your guild, it will cost fifty platinum lirums. If it is natural to your guild, the cost is a mere ten platinum lirums. The first four are Warrior Mage techniques, the next two are Moon Mage techniques, the seventh one is a Clerical technique, while the next three are Bardic techniques." He leans in, and adds in a barely audible whisper, "The eleventh and final one is a Necromancer's technique, always at full price." He grows silent, then turns back to his books.
