The Academy and body parts

I have visited Academy in Gelan and noticed lots of body parts in the donation box.
What is the point?
The spells tought in the Academy require body parts as components?
If so, can not the students get them easily on their own?

Code: Select all

There are two obvious exits: south and north.
A marble donation box.
A slender graceful female elf.

> put gems in box
The glowing gem cannot be dropped.
You put ten black onyxes into the marble donation box.
> exa box
 This marble donation box is hewn out of solid marble and looks to be rather 
immobile. Someone painstakingly hollowed out the marble lode and formed it into 
something that can fit items donated to the Academy. There is an opening at the 
top of the box large enough to fit most items. A small bronze plaque at the 
front of the box reads: 'Donations for the Academy of Elemental Arts'.
 The marble donation box contains ten black onyxes, three grey barks, a head of 
a muscular buccaneer, a minotaur heart, a minotaur thighbone, eight kender meats,
 32 kender teeth, 22 kender toes, seven kender hearts, 25 kender ribs, seven 
kender jaws, 21 kender kneecaps, ten kender kidneys, 31 kender nails, a dozen 
kender fingers, five kender thighbones, six centaur toes, two unicorn horns, a

If I remember correctly, teeth and eyes were needed for a couple of the spells, but it's been a couple of weeks since I left.

I dont think academics can recognise the gems and grey barks in all this mess. This box is more brutal than anyone in the realms!

Someone cleaned it, so you need not worry for a while.

No, it was not Armageddon, but before.

I removed your post Snowrose, please do not reveal which exact components guilds use for spells. I know you were only trying to be helpful and that the Academy may not really be secretive about it, but since we try to keep from revealing stuff like that for other guilds I think the same should apply for the Academy. Also, it's more fun to learn and discover these things when you do join a guild then already know it from the forum I think.

Good you keep her in check, that information was way out of line. With that said, you have quite a few posts to delete to uphold this standard.
