Chapter 4

| Zheynen spent weeks in the library, surviving on the remnants of his
magical food and water emergency supplies, he absorbed as much as he could
find on the local goings on. Learning about the varied forms of technology
and magic that he found discernibly documented. He quickly came to one
conclusion, if he wanted to learn more he would have to learn how to survive
in this dangerous world.

| Noting a large number of works seem to come from either two schools
as they call them, those of great prestige in the guild known as necromancy
and those of the guild of conjuration. He found the guild of conjuration most
exciting, it was this worlds early dabblings into what his kind know as
Advanced Planar Travel Theory and Dynamics.

| Exciting he carefully sold off each of his remaining artifacts,
either expending their remaining charges or verifying that nothing remained
of their intended properties.

| He quickly found that though he understood the languages he'd been
initially exposed to his earpiece quickly became useless, seeming unable to
draw more magic from the world. Despite Zheynan now knowing magic did in fact
exist in the world he needed the money to join the guild of conjuration. So
he sold both his adaptive pieces, learning the written and spoken languages
was an easy task. The same applied to the monocle that allowed him to so
quickly absorb the libraries works, he found the more he used it the harder
it became to make out text.

| The one piece he did keep however, did not work either. A simple
crystalline hammer, its length no more than a inch and a half and its
thickness barely half an inch at the head. Hung on a simple silver chain it
seemed to dangle with great weight upon his neck. When held it is supposed to
return to its normal size at the correct phrase, but Zheynan had already
found that magic too was weak to trigger the transformation. Though he could
not bare to depart with what could potentially prove to be a irreplaceable
tool.
