-Academic knowledge is handled through [[libraries]], where [[Scholars]] ponder, discuss, and research [[topics]]. They may make discoveries and [[writer|write]] [[scroll]]s or [[quire]]s. Topics can be learned through reading about them, as well as through apprenticeship, where a teacher will teach the topics directly to their apprentice. Research itself is an extremely slow process, and it is recommended to use books or apprenticeship to further knowledge development. Academic knowledge currently has limited application, the prime effect being the unlocking of [[Book#Literary_Forms|literary forms]].
