Chapter 1e: Visiting Fengheld's Library

(Yes, the latter.)

(Ok. Copying something in the season you have at Fengheld won't count against the books you will be allowed to borrow for the chapter house. Am I correct in assuming that you'll be looking for a Rego summa to borrow?)

(Yes. The list of texts that Ludovicus would like to borrow, for use by all at the chapter house, is then:

  1. Lab text for voice range spell to harvest vis
  2. Lab text for Ritual Communion
  3. Rego summa (Level ~10)

As with the Vim summa, his aim will be to make a copy of the Rego summa. But he'll do so while he has it at the chapter house. He tells Theodorich of this intent, and Horst too, if he has to get permission again.)

(ooc ; how has my research gone ? : https://forum.atlas-games.com/t/chapter-1e-visiting-fenghelds-library/10343/56)

He'll be able to borrow up to two of the older summae (either primers or more advanced texts if you prefer) in the Arts he's interested in. Fengheld doesn't have anything available that is written in Arabic, apparently. I'll give out the exact stats when someone starts studying them. :laughing:

As for spells, each magus will be allowed to borrow 40 levels of lab texts, up to 4 lab texts per magus.

From the kind of spells that Renatus was interested in, Theodorus found the following which would be available out of hand:

  • Clear Sight of the Naiad (InAq 5)
  • Call of the Rushing Waters (InAq 15)
  • Lungs of the Fish (MuAq 20, Au)
  • Push of the Gentle Waves (ReAq 15)
  • True Sight of the Air (InAu 15)
  • Webbed Toes of the Pond-Dweller (MuCo 5, An) - from MoH p.85
  • Repel Winter's Clutches (CrIg 5) - from MoH p.75

As far as the spells that Ludovicus was interested in, the following were located and can be borrowed:

  • Ritual Communion (ReVi gen/10, 15 and 20)
  • Gather the Magical Essence (ReVi 20)
  • Clothe the Naked Form (CrHe 10) - from MoH p.58

Theodorus also mentions a few standard lab texts that are often borrowed by new magi:

  • Doublet of Impenetrable Silk (MuAn 15)
  • Comfort of the Drenched Traveller (PeAq 5)
  • Cloak of the Duck's Feathers (ReAq 5)
  • Chamber of Spring Breezes (CrAu 5)
  • Bind Wound (CrCo 10)
  • Eyes of the Cat (MuCo 5, An)
  • Dust to Dust (PeCo 15)
  • Rise of the Feathery Body (ReCo 10)
  • Repel the Wooden Shafts (ReHe 10)
  • Palm of Flames (CrIg 5)
  • Lamp Without Flame (CrIg 10)
  • Heat of the Searing Forge (CrIg 10)
  • Wizard's Sidestep (ReIm 10)
  • Snap of Awakening (ReMe 5)
  • The Call to Slumber (ReMe 10)
  • The Crystal Dart (MuTe 10, Re)
  • Rusted Decay of Ten-Score Years (PeTe 10)
  • The Unseen Arm (ReTe 5)
  • The Unseen Porter (ReTe 10)
  • Wielding the Invisible Sling (ReTe 10)
  • The Invisible Eye Revealed (InVi gen/10 and 15)
  • Scales of the Magical Weight (InVi 5)
  • Sense the Nature of Vis (InVi 5)
  • Wind of Mundane SIlence (PeVi gen/10 and 15)
  • Gather the Essence of the Beast (ReVi 15)
  • Wizard's Communion (MuVi gen/10 and 15)

(OOC : what you call primer is the same as the root of the arts : a summae you're suppose to read once to reach level 5 or 6 in an art or is ts simply a low level summae but one you can possibly read at least two seasons ?
If we plan our seasons :

  • Spring : at Fengheld main covenant study the vim primer
  • Summer : installing lab
  • Autumn : installing lab
    -winter : learning Ritual communion lvl 20 or Gather the magical essence 20 (depending which one Ludovicus is not studying)
    Spring 2 : learning the second spell among Ritual communion 20 or Gather the magical essence 20.

We don't really need any books in the first year...
I'll need a tractatus on finesse too soon maybe 3rd year ^^

Anyway : Among the first list of spells for the next year... :

  • [strike]Clear Sight of the Naiad (InAq 5)[/strike] have already
  • Call of the Rushing Waters (InAq 15) interesting to locate water similar to those of the sources of virtus
  • [strike]Lungs of the Fish (MuAq 20, Au)[/strike]have already
  • [strike]Push of the Gentle Waves (ReAq 15)[/strike] have already
  • True Sight of the Air (InAu 15) Interesting for aerial scouting in mist.
  • [strike]Webbed Toes of the Pond-Dweller (MuCo 5, An) - from MoH p.85[/strike] --> can't use in animal form
  • Repel Winter's Clutches (CrIg 5) - from MoH p.75Average : need to maintain concentration not really usable during swimming but can be used between divings

From the second list : We need them all they are top priority so we should split them between us two

  • Ritual Communion (ReVi gen/10, 15 and 20)
  • Gather the Magical Essence (ReVi 20)
  • Clothe the Naked Form (CrHe 10) - from MoH p.58

From the 3rd list : most of them are interesting but not priority for now.

  • Doublet of Impenetrable Silk (MuAn 15)
  • Comfort of the Drenched Traveller (PeAq 5)
  • Cloak of the Duck's Feathers (ReAq 5)
  • Chamber of Spring Breezes (CrAu 5)
  • Bind Wound (CrCo 10)
  • Eyes of the Cat (MuCo 5, An)
  • Dust to Dust (PeCo 15)
  • Rise of the Feathery Body (ReCo 10)
  • Repel the Wooden Shafts (ReHe 10)
  • Palm of Flames (CrIg 5)
  • Lamp Without Flame (CrIg 10)
  • Heat of the Searing Forge (CrIg 10)
  • Wizard's Sidestep (ReIm 10)
  • Snap of Awakening (ReMe 5)
  • The Call to Slumber (ReMe 10)
  • The Crystal Dart (MuTe 10, Re)

  • The Unseen Arm (ReTe 5)
  • The Unseen Porter (ReTe 10)
  • Wielding the Invisible Sling (ReTe 10)
  • The Invisible Eye Revealed (InVi gen/10 and 15)
  • Scales of the Magical Weight (InVi 5)
  • Sense the Nature of Vis (InVi 5)
  • Wind of Mundane SIlence (PeVi gen/10 and 15)
  • Gather the Essence of the Beast (ReVi 15)
  • Wizard's Communion (MuVi gen/10 and 15)
    )

((Ludovicus plans to do the following:

Spring: copy Vim summa at Fengheld
Summer: set up lab
Autumn: set up lab
Winter: learn Ritual Communion Lvl 20
Spring: learn Gather the Magical Essence Lvl 20

And now he just realized there won't be time to study or copy the Rego summa he planned to borrow, at least not until next year. So he will ask Theodorich/Horst whether it can be delivered to him next Spring by Redcap.))

Note that you arrived at Fengheld at the end of Spring and you will be moving to the chapter house at the end of Summer. So activities should be planned starting with Summer.

Most magi will study a primer only for a single season, though some may spend a second season on them when their stats are sub-optimal (like L5Q18 or L6Q15), or when the primer has been designed with 2 seasons of study in mind (L7Q14 or L8Q18). Roots are basically primers optimized for a single season of study.

Trying to finalize the list that is being asked for.

Renatus of Bjornaer:

  • Rego summa (intermediate)
  • Intellego summa (primer)
  • Lab texts: Call of the Rushing Waters (InAq 15), True Sight of the Air (InAu 15), Repel Winter's Clutches (CrIg 5)

Ludovicus of Bonisagus:

  • Vim summa (older advanced) -- copied for the chapter house
  • Lab texts: Ritual Communion (MuVi 20), Gather the Magical Essence (ReVi 20), Clothe the Naked Form (CrHe 10)

Renatus of Jerbiton:

  • Mentem summa (beginner or intermediate)
  • Aquam summa (beginner or intermediate)
  • Artes Liberales summa (advanced) - a copy to be made by the mundane scribes of Fengheld

we can only take 40 spell levels so that's rather

Work for me 8)

Looks good to me.

For the Summer season that you spend at Fengheld, I have the following activities planned for your magi:

  • Renatus: at Fengheld main covenant study the vim primer -- gain 15 xp
  • Ludovicus: copy Vim summa at Fengheld

I only need to know where Ludovicus will allocate the exposure xp for that season.

The summa he is copying was L12Q13 and had resonant materials included in its make-up, but the added expense is not authorized for the copy. Between that and the fact that Ludovicus only has a single season to make the copy, the copy ends up being L12Q11.

Exposure xp will go into Profession: Scribe.
