The outside of Esteban Contu's School of Incantation may look like nothing but a grotto amongst windswept boulders, but inside Is a thriving community of learners deep within the mountaln. Contu', the Master Hermit of Incantation, founded the school in 213 after people of all ages came to him for years to learn the art of Incantation. Contu' originally named it the School for Learning Incantation Truths. It was later renamed in his honor. However, the school remains dedicated to Esteban Contu's vision: instruct novices in simple truths about Incantation and give them the phemes and methods necessary to grow in the art.
Abilities[]
Pay Tuition (Active)[]
It just costs an extraordinary amount of money to get in to the Contu school - no one will even give you the chance until you show up at the front desk with 900 pims. Once you're accepted as a student, however, you can enjoy an accelerated study of Incantation that would make the great professors of College Godina look on in astonishment, or you can partake of "irregular" studies that offer a very small chance of Expanding Attributes as well as Skills.
- Add Memory "Contu School of Incantation: Tuition paid!"
- Add Visitation Rights
- Expand (-900) Money
