[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 a series of special services for mages 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
                    our staff.
 * Additional Spell Slots -- for a mere five(5) platinum lirums and
                    starting at two-hundred(200) hours, we can
                    train you to memorize more spells than you would
                    normally be able to acquire.
 * 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.

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, 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.
[In addition to coin, some of these services require an outlay of Time Development Points, or TDPs. Please make sure you carefully read the costs before you choose a service.]

Spell Erasing

ASK Archmagus Fleintoore about ERASING

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. 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.
[To purchase this service, type CHOOSE <spellname> SPELL. You will lose that spell from your spellbook but will regain the spell slot.]

On December 25, 2007, DR-ARMIFER posted cost calculations for Spell Erasure [1]. Summary:

IF YOUR LAST SPELL REMOVAL WAS LESS THAN 90 DAYS AGO

All charges apply.

IF YOUR LAST SPELL REMOVAL WAS 90 DAYS AGO OR MORE, BUT LESS THAN 180 DAYS

You will be charged lirums, but there will be no TDP cost.

IF YOUR LAST SPELL REMOVAL WAS 180 DAYS AGO OR MORE

You will not be charged either lirums or TDPs. The service is completely free.

On February 19, 2009, DR-ARMIFER clarified what factors into the coin cost for Spell Erasure [2] and [3].

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. 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.

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.

Spell Slot Purchase

ASK Archmagus Fleintoore about SLOTS

Fleintoore says, "Ah, a popular choice, but not for the faint of heart! You will gain an extra spell slot in your spellbook to use as you wish. In exchange, this will cost five platinum lirums and a base of two hundred hours. The greater your skill, the harder it is to gain new spell slots. For you specifically, this will run XXX hours in addition to the five platinum lirums."
[To purchase this service, type CHOOSE SLOTS. You will be charged five(5) platinum lirums and XXX TDPs, but you will gain an extra spell slot.]

Any decimals are rounded down.

• TDP cost = 200 + (100 x n) + [(PM-100)/2]

n is the number of slots you previously purchased

PM is your current Primary Magic skill

Minimum cost is 200, and maximum cost of 750 + (150 x n)

Any decimals are rounded down.

Exclusive Library

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."
[To purchase this service, type 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. ASK FLEINTOORE ABOUT BOOKS to get a list of books available in the library at this time.]
