Rule Name:	Buying Spells
There are three ways to buy spells from a mage. In all cases, permission must be obtained from the GM to buy the spell. The GM will check to see if a mage is available that might have the spell and whether the mage is willing to sell the spell. The prices listed can be used for guidance in determining cost. It is certainly possible that the mage may charge more, maybe even a lot more, to buy the spell. In the case of counterspells, it is highly unlikely that a mage will sell a counterspell to his own college unless it is in his best interest to do so. All costs listed are in silver. Buy a spell to write in a spell book. Buy a spell invested in an item. Have the mage cast a spell directly. Pay for an Attunement Ritual. Buy a spell to write in a Spell Book Spell or Ritual Cost General Knowledge Spell 5 x EXP Multiple General Knowledge Ritual 5 x EXP Multiple Special Knowledge Spell 7.5 x EXP Multiple Special Knowledge Ritual 7.5 x EXP Multiple Arcane Spell 10 x EXP Multiple Counterspell 2500 Circle of Protection vs. GK Spells 1500 Circle of Protection vs. SK Spells 2500 Circle of Protection vs. GK Disciplines 1500 Circle of Protection vs. SK Disciplines 2500 Circle of Protection vs. Minor Clerical Magic 1500 Circle of Protection vs. Major Clerical Magic 2500 Circle of Protection vs. Ritual Magic 2500 Circle of Protection vs. Illusions 3000 Circle of Protection vs. Summonings 1500 Circle of Protection vs. Detection 1250 Circle of Protection vs. Undead/Lycanthropes 1500 Circle of Protection vs. Black Magic 2000 Circle of Protection vs. Missiles 1000 Circle of Protection vs. Animals 700 Circle of Protection vs. Elementals 1000 Circle of Protection vs. Gargoyles 800 Circle of Protection vs. Efreeti/Djinn 800 Circle of Protection vs. Constructs 1000 Circle of Protection vs. Demons 2000 Circle of Protection vs. Faeries 900 Circle of Protection vs. Dragons 3500 Greater Circle of Protection 5000 Buy a spell invested in an Item – The cost to buy a spell invested in an item is 200 + ((EXP Multiple / 2) x Rank). Thus, to have a mage invest a spell with a multiple of 250 that he is rank 8 in would cost 1200 silver (200 + ((250 / 2) x 8)) = 1200. Have the mage cast a spell directly – The cost to have a mage cast a spell on the buyer is (100 + ((EXP Multiple / 4) x Rank). Thus, to have a mage cast a spell with a multiple of 250 that he is rank 8 in would cost 1100 silver (100 + ((250 / 4) x 8)) = 600. Pay for an Attunement Ritual – The cost to have a mage perform an attunement ritual is 150 silver per rank. This improves chance of attunement by 5% per rank.
