He then reset everyone that wanted one, and retreated back to his lab, intent on getting back to work after setting the game speed higher, to almost 200 years per day, or about a game year per five minutes.<br/><br/>He finally, at about midnight, finished modifying the spell, and slotted the scroll up into the shelf reserved for special items he had found or been given.

He sighed, and got to work on his standing experiments, before striding out and checking his mail, wondering if the Sultan had responded to his letter already.
