Sulinus Vassinus in the Skingrad Guild Hall

Sulinus Vassinus, an Imperial Sorcerer, is an Evoker of the Mages Guild who offers basic Conjuration training and sells spells at the Skingrad Guild Hall.

He lives a relatively simple existence, eating lunch from midday to 2pm and dinner from 6pm to 8pm, and sleeping in his room in the Living Quarters from 2am to 9am. He spends the rest of the day wandering around the Guild building.

He wears the standard mage's robe and a pair of green velvet shoes, and carries a small amount of gold.

In combat he relies on a silver shortsword and on a large set of basic Apprentice-level spells from all of the magical schools. These are the same spells that you can buy cheaply from him, since his Mercantile is a mere 16. He will always be available for training when not eating or sleeping.

The first time you meet him, he will politely introduce himself: "I'm Sulinus Vassinus of the Mages Guild, and I'm so pleased to make your acquaintance." He will also give you some information on the services provided in the Skingrad Mages Guild: "Have you met Adrienne Berene, our Skingrad Mages Guild head? Not the most pleasant person, I'll admit. Don't mind her. Interested in training? I do the Conjuration courses, and Druja does the Mysticism." He will also drop in a word or two about higher level training: "The guild can provide you with some training, but the best trainers are usually very hard to find."

[edit] Notes

• He was initially supposed to give the player another method of completing the Skingrad Recommendation quest. For a fee of 300 gold, Sulinus would go to Bleak Flats Cave, kill the zombies and return to the Guild Hall with Erthor in tow. He still possesses the AI packages for this option, but the dialogue that would set it in motion can never be obtained, as the script requires his disposition with the player to be both less than zero and greater than or equal to 70.

[edit] Spells

He sells the following spells:

* Indicates spells which cannot be purchased from anyone else. (However, spells with the same effects at different magnitudes can be purchased elsewhere.)
** Indicates spells with effects which cannot be purchased anywhere else.

[edit] Purchased Spell Notes

• The magicka cost for most purchasable spells matches the value you would calculate from the Spell Cost equation. In other words, if you were to create the same spell at the Spellmaking Altar, it would have the same magicka cost as the purchasable spell. There are a few exceptions. Spells that are a bad deal, i.e. more expensive than a custom spell, are in red; spells that are a good deal are in green. The magicka cost if you were to create a custom spell at the Spellmaking Altar is shown in parentheses.
• The magicka cost for spells is dependent upon your skill in the school (as modified by Luck, see Magic Overview). The provided baseline values are the magicka cost when your skill level is 33. For other skill levels the magicka cost can be determined from:

Cost * (1.4 - 0.012 * Skill)

• More powerful spells cost more to buy, have a higher skill requirement, and consume more Magicka.
• Level indicates what skill level you must reach (or surpass) in order to use a spell. Skill Level 0-24 = Novice, 25-49 = Apprentice, 50-74 = Journeyman, 75-99 = Expert, 100 = Master.
• The base cost in gold that you must pay to purchase a spell is always three times the current magicka cost of the spell, taking into account your character's skill level and Luck. (The actual cost you pay is further increased based on how well you haggle with the merchant). Therefore, if you have any Fortify Skill or Fortify Luck spells/potions handy, you can get significantly better deals when purchasing spells.
