- Dave-- Gimme a really good Herbam summa (should be at least level 20 and minimum quality of 12), and I'd also like books on Rego, Auram, and Mentem. Whenever we solidify our purchases, I'd be happy to come up with titles, descriptions, and author names for all the summae. --Sally
- We have 300 points to spend. Tom picked a L20 Q11 Imaginem book. Uh, I can't think of anything particular for Lacrimadia, though since Durenmar gave us most of them, they probably kept her in mind. Perhaps a couple of Perdo tractati? Also, there should be an Aegis of the Hearth Lab Text at Level 30. --ED
- I thought you said 400 on Saturday? Dave says he thinks you said either 400 or 450. I think it was 400 though. --Sally
- ED: We have 300 points for the library, and 100 points for lab texts (spells). So 400 points total from Durenmar. Also 125 points of enchanted items from Irencillia, along with the 240 points of laboratory equipment, though if you'd rather have books than items we can manipulate those numbers a bit.
- Aah, that's where the 400 was coming from. 100 points seems like an awful lot for lab texts. How much do the casting tablets cost? --Sally 02:45, 4 July 2007 (EDT)
- Lab texts are 1 build point per 5 levels of spells, casting tablets are 2 build points per 5 levels of spells. I agree the points are probably better spent on books, which is why I've tended to conflate the numbers, but if spells sound like what you'd pick given the full extent of the library at Durenmar, I'm cool with that. --Erik 03:43, 4 July 2007 (EDT)
- What I came up with should add up to exactly 400. Any casting tablets will have to come out of our laboratory points I guess :/ --Sally 05:00, 4 July 2007 (EDT)
