long ago it was acquired, and how much was confirmed to be correct. Because he had gone through everything he had learned from the foes he had defeated before Salthimere, the shelves bearing the four traditional elements were quite full, having collectively gathered centuries of arcane research and experiences in it. Even his understanding of teleportation, spirit magic, rituals, and item empowerment each warranted at least a row of books on a disparate shelf. He was nineteen, perhaps even twenty now, considering how long he'd been in the Bastille, yet he had the knowledge and, even more importantly, the practical experiences of a mage hundreds of years old.
    Filling those shelves was a harder task than he had thought it would be. Even with the spell-form’s assistance, the knowledge he had gained was, as a whole, incomplete. Bits and fragments of their memories escaped while he was absorbing their auras, making quite a bit of the actual magical comprehension insufficient.
    Instead, Endrance had to sort through each fragment of understanding and fill in the missing pieces. He did most of it by comparing one piece of the spell with another he already knew worked, and then copying over the missing chunks; or using his own understanding to figure out what had been there. From that point, he was able to extrapolate how the person had composed their spells and could make the adjustments. It was a grueling task, one that left him mentally exhausted on the days he had worked on it while in Salthimere and on the road. Though they never understood how he could get so tired, or even that hungry, doing nothing but thinking, Joven on some level understood he was doing some kind of thing regarding magic and wisely never complained.
    There was one shelf that had very little stored in it. Even after three years of tutoring in life magic, there was a scant two books on the entire shelf for the element. One was a book containing his memory of everything his tutor had told him of the history of life magic, from its discovery until the tutor had sat down to teach the first human that element of magic. The second, and quite obviously the thinnest book, contained every spell he comprehended that used life magic. It was markedly thin, mostly because he had devised the few spells as a practical means of learning more advanced topics. Unlike the human method of learning and teaching magic, elves learned it naturally and instinctively and never had a formal school or mechanism to pass on that knowledge to their younger generations. This led to some great difficulties in actually learning any spell forms, but Endrance had managed to bumble together a few spells. His tutor had found that these at least approximated effective life magic spells. These were the ones he had managed to copy down, but even then, the concepts were still harder to work with than the others. To even to use them, Endrance had to rely on a transitive medium to cast life spells. His Grandstaff, Pentarch, had been that medium until Endrance's capture.
    Until he devised an escape from his prison, he would need to get to work on better comprehending those principles of life magic he had so much trouble with, otherwise he'd be in a lot of trouble.  The spell table would be of some assistance in this endeavor.
    The table was something Endrance had devised while living in the elven lands to help him study. The silver was etched in a myriad of complex channels and passes, whose sole purpose was to allow him to more easily visualize a spell's form without having to go through the motions or channel the power needed to cast it. It meant he could analyze the form and how it was executed to see if he could comprehend it more completely, or even discover better ways to cast it.
    Comprehension was the most critical part of combat magic. A wizard could learn almost every spell in existence, theoretically, but almost all of them would be useless should he have to defend himself. Most magic
