[QUOTE="Victim, post: 2073218, member: 78"] People don't remove books from the library of Nessus (not the layer of hell). Considering the other punishments the city uses, and the fact that the city's ruler likes magic, only bad things can happen to people who mess with the library. I don't even know if it's public access; our characters ended up having connections to the ruler. The Arcane Order now defunct, but they used to have the greatest library. Access would have been members only and with restricted areas. You can't have young wizards' heads exploding if they stumble onto high level spells - that can ruin the books. They probably did things with massive wards, extra dimensional sections of the library for extra security and the like. All that security, plus reputation, plus they'd have high level wizards tracking down offenders for free. "You stole Bigby's [i]Theory of Evocative Force Lattice Structure[/i] and have thus delayed my spell research for the 5 whole minutes it took to track you down. You certainly picked an annoying method of commiting suicide." Lending out a book would be a special favor they'd trade for something big. Borrowing a book might cost a wizard a unique submitted to the Order, or some of the wizard's own research. [/QUOTE]
