"I haven't. I must look it up. I should have welcomed you to the city. It's quite a pleasant place even if a few things have been going on. Have you been shown around?"
"No," replies Master Wallash. "I only just arrived yesterday and have not had the chance... It is a pity it is such nasty weather, otherwise I would have liked to take a walk."
Indicating the door, he adds, "Shall we go. I have a few things to do, but I'm happy to talk more for a little while as we walk."

As the two of you leave the room, Master Wallash says, "If you're interested in learning more about the Enchantment domain, then I would suggest Herbert's The Weirding Way would be a good introductory text. Hopefully they will have it in the library here, but if not, I can loan you my copy."
Walking down the corridor towards the foyer of the Administration building once more, Master Wallash then excuses himself, saying he has to talk to the staff about an issue he is having with his room. "Good luck with making your choice as to which domain to follow," he adds in parting.

Putting the hood of his coat up, Guilliame dashes through the rain from the Administration building to the Library where he dries himself off in the entrance with Prestidigitation.
He then searches for Velma and finds her putting books back on the shelves; she smiles when she sees him.
"Hello, Guilliame," she says, "Feeling better? I didn't think I would see you today."

"I recovered faster than I thought I might. But I have a present and an idea for you. The present is practical rather than romantic I'm afraid."
Hand Velma the torch.
"My grandmother said she used to carry one around as a girl when stirges were more common. It'snot much protection but more reliable than a spell and you can quickly relight it with magick if you need to. The idea is my grandmother helped to heal me a bit faster. It is not her specialty but perhaps she could come over and talk to your mother. See if there is anything she can do to help her feel better. What do you think?"
Velma accepts the torch, but clearly doesn't know what to say about the strange gift.
And, when Guilliame suggests that his grandmother might come and see to her mother's health, Velma shrugs and says, "It is a permanent complaint. I don't think there is anything that can be done."
She then hesitates for a moment and says, "Would you like to come and meet her tonight? You could walk me home."

"Busy, actually," says Velma leading the way to her office. "The rain is bringing people in to read rather than being outside."
Reaching her office, Velma puts Guilliame's gift down on a bench next to her satchel and then gathers up two mugs into which she pours char.
As she goes about reheating the char, she asks, "So, what has brought you to the School today? Surely you haven't come just to bring me a piece of wood."

"I've just seen the new master, Master Wallash about possibly specialising in enchantment magick. He has given me some things to think about. Also a book to look up: Herbert's The Weirding Way. Have you heard of it?"
"Don't know that name," says Velma, handing Guilliame a cup of hot black char.
She then puts a small crockery jug half full of milk on the table before saying. "We have a register that lists all the books in the library in the order in which they arrived. You're welcome to look through that, but I would suggest just looking in the shelves dedicated to the Enchantment domain of magic. I can show you that when we've finished our drink."
Then, having heated her own drink up, she sits down opposite Guilliame at the table and says, "This is nice... I have my lunch break soon, would you like to have lunch with me?"

[OOC: LOL. I was wondering if you got the reference.]
Guilliame and Velma finish their drinks and the Velma leads Guilliame to the section of the library devoted to the domain of Enchantment. She then goes off about her business to leave Guilliame to search the shelves.

Guilliame searches through the books and scrolls on the shelves that Velma pointed out and cannot find the book that Master Wallash recommended. He does however find a scroll that is supposedly a treatise on something similar to what he is looking for written by someone with the family name of Herbert.
[OOC: How this is going to work is like what we did with Expeditious Retreat. You need to choose a spell that Guilliame wants to research and I will determine a secret Difficulty Class (DC), which he needs to beat to learn the spell using his Arcana skill. This DC will go down as he does appropriate research into that spell, so he will most likely eventually learn the spell. He can research multiple spells over a period, but he will have different DCs for each spell, depending on how much effort he puts into it. Also, the sources he uses will determine the what is rolled; the scroll he has found is likely to help with Enchantment spells.
Please name a spell from this list that he is trying to research.]
