"Given that you are not devotees of the Lord of Knowledge, I must first ask for a donation of twenty pieces of gold that we will use towards the maintenance of our library and archives.  The cost of the actual spell, for you require a level of divine intervention beyond mere healing of wounds, will cost two hundred and eighty pieces of gold.  Lastly, in order to focus the necessary divine energies, I will require the dust of diamonds worth one hundred gold pieces.  This material component can be purchased at the Lyceum but you must be responsible for the cost." He pauses once more, looking exhausted from the conversation.  He raises a palsied hand to point at Bannock. "I would also ask that he remain here at the Temple so that we may further study his condition and record treatment.  For greater knowledge you understand.  The entire process, both study and spell casting will take no longer than one day." </blockquote>
