I am mikeheitz... or you can call me by my alter-ego... Druga Entierdahl.

Please, all of you magical types, relax and enjoy yourselves under my gracious leadership! We will have chilled Kobold Brains, courtesy of our good friend Herr Oakenshield... wash that down nicely with some mint wine... ahhhhhh!!! Verrrrry nice...

Hmmm, and I thought this guild was full of mages, where'd they all go?? Oh well. Anyway. I'm a fighter mage, but I think I'll hang out here, it seems more civilized...

I like to think my fellow mages and I are a civilized lot. At least, I am usually civilized... except for that time when I razed a quiet little hamlet outside of Detroit... hmmmmmm... that WAS kinda fun...

Well, these things happen... One has to test new spells somewhere...

<IC>
Hmm - so this the new area - pfeee, whom among you magelings has spells I can copy.
</ic>

Actuall I have news regarding mages:
It seems that mages can copy spells out of each others spellbooks if they wish.
This could indeed spark a bit of trade between the members of the wing.

Also I've learnt that it will cost 100 GP per page to write a spell in your book - and each spell takes 2 pages per level.

<IC>
Aye - we need the fighters to get us some gold to spendt
</IC>

Also there is a difficult check for when writing spell in your book.
It will be a DC of 15 + level of spell. I don't yet know what skills one need to lower this/help that roll - but after what I've read their will be a spell that eleminates this DC.

<IC>
Now - give me my due reward for this information
</IC>

P.S: IC means in character

I am always looking to pad my spell book. What exactly do you mean by "It will be a DC of 15 + level of spell"??? What's a DC?

The idea of trading spells will make this guild wing a lot of fun!

DC equals a difficult check - (d20 in this case IIRC)

<IC>
Aye - trading could be fun

Well presumably if you're writing from someone else's spellbook, it won't matter much if it fails, because you wouldn't lose your chance, like if you write from a scroll in BG2...

Other than money - but we must also remember that RPing a mage we would be very secreative about our books and if I gave you a spell to copy and you did - and you then in return gave me one and I failed - would you still give me a chance more

Also after what I've read, a mage can scribe scrolls, so we can sell scrolls instead to each other.

Oh yes, I forgot about the money part...

Let me see... you give me some money to copy from my spellbook. You fail. Do I accept more of your money so you can try again? Hell yeah! That's business

Seriously though, since we're in a guild, we should all be working together, and it would benefit the guild as a whole for the mages to have a better selection of spells. So of course we ought to share.

<IC>
Ye have high thoughts about ye peers, mageling
But I hope we share secrets, the brotherhood of mages must prevail in dangerous times
</ic>

Of course we should/would share, but RP-wise I still see that it will definatly be much for something.

BTW the gold it cost to write in a spell in your book will not go to any other person (AFAIK) it will simply dissapere.

Hmmm, it would make more sense if mages could charge other mages for copying from their spellbook, don't you think? It doesn't really make sense otherwise...

But of course they can - the other cost is just a generic cost to put spells in your book.
There is nothing against you telling me that you want 9000 GP for letting me copy this first level spell in your book

<IC>
Ye be a greedy one, mageling
</IC>

Oh, I see what you mean... but it doesn't make sense that money just disappears to nowhere when you write a spell to your book.

Greedy? You won't be saying that when my expensive new sword saves your pure mage butt...

Well it is money to use on magical ink, paper quilt etc.

Well science has yet to provide me with an answer to that
