Do you have any suggestions? furthermore, why the heck should nibenay search for arcane knowledge? he was one of rajaat students afterall - and rajaat didn't develope magic in Naggaramakam... guy.

He spends his time researching how to complete the dragon metamorphosis without going through the mid level bestial stages. Of all the Sorceror-Kings, Nibenay always seemed to me to be the ext likely candidate for becoming a full fledged dragon.

Why wouldnt Nibenay search for arcane knowledge? In fact, Rajaat created a way to use the plants and peoples energy. This doesnt mean that he created all sort of spells. He created the working base for all spells. It's like Henry Ford. He created "official" the first car (Fort-T). This asnt stop other peoples to create Trucks, bike and any other car models. Even more, Ford is dead, but there is still new innovation made, BUT still in the background of a frame with 4 wheels. This mean that Rajaat invented the frame and 4 wheels and the entire wizards community as invented things to put on this frame. Grummore version of Rajaat and Defiler-Preserver magic 0.9a ;)

Ford's innovation was the assembly line. Before that, a handful of people would build the whole car, and each person would have to know how to build a whole car. With an assembly line, you just had to learn a small piece of the process... Not, of course, that this is relevant to Athas ....
