Libraries Researching both spell formulae and magic item schema requires a library. Likewise, libraries are used to uncover lore (associated with the Arcana, History, Nature, and Religion Skills). Though adventurers often pay coin in order to access the libraries of either institutions, sages, or others with access, those who establish themselves may wish to possess a library of their own. Likewise, adventurers may find or loot tomes or even portions of libraries that may contribute to an overall library. Research Libraries - Libraries are rated by their total value in gold pieces. As characters gain new tomes or portions of libraries, they simply add them all together to determine what degree of usefulness this overall library provides. Libraries do not care for themselves. While an individual may tend to the organization, curation, and even repair of small collections, larger libraries require a minimum number of Skilled workers to see that they are kept in good condition and able to be referenced. Small (1000 gp): A small library is a few book shelves worth of space, or enough to fill a fair sized cabinet. Lore libraries can research up to DC 15 topics. Formula libraries can research up to 1st level spells, and schema libraries can research up to Common magic items. Modest (5000 gp): A modest is a small room's worth of books, amounting to five or so bookshelves. Lore libraries can research up to DC 20 topics. Formula libraries can research up to 3rd level spells, and schema libraries can research up to Uncommon magic items. Good (10,000 gp): A good library is a sizeable room's worth of materials, often filling groaning shelves and cabinets with books, scrolls, and folios. Lore libraries can research up to DC 25 topics. Formula libraries can research up to 5th level spells, and schema libraries can research up to Rare magic items. Requires at least 1 Skilled worker to maintain Impressive (50,000 gp): An impressive library fills multiple rooms, even quite large ones. They tend to be rather rare, and certainly live up to their name in terms of their breadth of lore. Lore libraries can research up to DC 30 topics. Formula libraries can research up to 7th level spells, and schema libraries can research up to Very Rare magic items. Requires at least 3 Skilled workers to maintain. Legendary (150,000+ gp): A library of this size fills massive wings of vast establishments. They tend to be institutions in their own right. Lore libraries can research up to DC 35 topics. Formula libraries can research up to 9th level spells, and schema libraries can research up to Legendary magic items. The tower is currently a 'Modest' Lore Library, due to space limitations it could be upgraded up to a 'Good' Lore Library for 5,000 gold. But if upgraded it would then need a 'tower friend' librarian. Mimzy has a 'Modest' Schema library under her shop in Lerton. The Berk Library is on a 'Good' Library but it has both Lore and Formula.
