The Arcanum

[Master Elodin]

Hello, students, and welcome to the Arcanum. We arcanists are generous, and by joining you will receive a gram that protects you not only from sympathy but also any hemalurgic reactions you might have.

We here at the Arcanum have many services to offer from alchemy to, if you need it, malfeasance. Titles of E'lir, Re'lar and El'the will be given determined upon your contributions to the Arcanum. We are always in need of new students in all areas. At the Arcanum we also pride ourselves on the number of spikes we have, as they cannot hurt us. We are looking to install a root beer bar as well, so no complaints.

Caution: Hoid lives behind the Doors of Stone, and he's sleeping. Don't wake him up.

Well.. I'd like to join, but keep that gram away from me. I'm pretty sure half of these spikes are there to keep me alive.

Anyway what's my fee? Am I gonna need to sell some gold wire?

[Citadel16 he/him]

is this "Ars Arcanum"?

You, my friend, get in free, as you are our first student. Don't worry, the gram only prevents "adverse effects", but if you must, we will not give one to you.

is this "Ars Arcanum"?

No. It's a reference to a book called the Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. You should read it and then join for protection from spikes! Edited March 11, 2016 by Master_Elodin

Root beer bar is now installed.

[CarolaDavar she/her]

I am here to serve Root Beer to any who wish

[Wonko the Sane he/him]

Can the mad Necromancer Sev Resterford join your guild? He got kicked out of the other Arcanum for inhuman levels of brutality.

Sure, welcome in! We've heard great things about you, Necromancer. How about you come to the Crockery over here for just a second..

Star Thief came bouncing down the dirt road that led to the front entrance of the Arcanum, happily whistling a nameless tune. She steeped up to the front door and banged the metal knocker as hard as she could down onto the wooden doors.

 

"Hello, is this where the magic is?" 

[Master Elodin]

Hello Auri- I mean Star Thief. This is indeed where the magic is.

[TheSilverDragon he/him]

All the magic?

[Master Elodin]

You cannot steal the magic.

[TheSilverDragon he/him]

But why? It's not like any one is using it at the moment, and it's right there.

[Master Elodin]

If you steal the magic, you'll end up like poor Rincewind here, with Bel-Shamaroth chasing you.

[TheSilverDragon he/him]

Bel-Shamorth sounds like a nice guy, can I meet him?

[Master Elodin]

Yeah, just say the number that is between 7 and 9. You know, twice four.

[TheSilverDragon he/him]

Um, 8?

[Master Elodin]

Well now you're dead. *hears eldritch wind* *sees eldritch monster* *screams eldritch scream*

Ok, Auri/Star Thief. I need you to imagine a rosebud. There is a light, pulsing in the edge of the rosebud. You are the rosebud. Open yourself to the light. Open yourself to saidar. Now kill the monster, without any spoilers for the scenes beyond page 232 of the 4th book.

[Dustbringer12 he/him]

I would Like to join.

[Spoolofwhool]

The real question though, is: Can I have a gram made from a hemalurgic spike?
