Ita Rienus in the Bravil Mages Guild

Ita Rienus, an Imperial battlemage, is a Journeyman of the Mages Guild who offers advanced Mysticism training and recharging services and sells spells at the Bravil Guild Hall.

She will also train by herself: at 6am, she gets out of bed and enters the Guild Basement, where she will wander around for a couple of hours. At 8am, there is a 40% chance that she will cast some Mysticism spells, and will continue to do so for two hours. After training, she heads upstairs and wanders around there, conversing with her fellow guildmates. At 2pm, she once again heads down into the basement, where she will spend another four hours wandering. At 6pm, she eats dinner on the ground floor with the other Guild members for three hours. Afterward, she will exit the Guild for some fresh dusk air, and will wander around near Bravil's north entrance for the next two hours, before heading back to the Guild and her bed at 11pm.

She wears middle-class attire consisting of a burgundy linen shirt, burgundy linens and a pair of thick cowhide shoes. Her only other possession is a leveled amount of gold.

She doesn't carry any weapons, relying instead on a set of medium-high level Illusion spells (though she unable to cast her Expert- and Master-level spells; see Bugs). These are also the same spells that you can buy from her for a cheap price, since her Mercantile is a mere 16. She will always offer her services when not sleeping, eating or taking her daily trip to the city's north entrance.

DialogueEdit

When you meet her for the first time, she will say:

"Ita Rienus, Spells, Recharging and Training in Mysticism. And idle chatter. At your service."

On her town of choice, her geographic knowledge shines through:

Bravil

"Bravil is an important trade center, and a rich melting pot of Imperial, Khajiit, and Argonian cultures. And, yes, a bit shabby and shopworn."

She will also point you towards Delphine Jend, when you ask her about the Guild:

Mages Guild

"Delphine can get you a spell to summon bound armor, if you're interested. And if you're able, of course."

If you haven't joined yet she will comment:

Mages Guild

"Kud-Ei would be the one to talk to, if you wish to join. Otherwise, just find one of the other local guild heads."

As an advanced trainer, Ita can provide you with the necessary reference for the Mysticism Master Training quest. Once your mysticism skill level reaches 70, speak to her, and choose the "training" option, which will trigger the quest and this dialogue:

Training

"You know as much about Mysticism as I do. If you wish to learn more, Dagail can teach you. Visit her at the Leyawiin Guild hall. But be aware that she's a bit... odd."

If asked again on this topic, she will repeat what she said in the following line:

"Go to the Leyawiin Guild hall, and speak with Dagail. She can train you further."

RumorsEdit

The townsfolk of Bravil will comment on Ita's fondness for both Mysticism and geography:

"Ita Rienus knows more about the geography of Tamriel than anyone I've ever met. Apparently, she knows quite a bit about Mysticism as well."

"Surprising, don't you think, since she never seems to leave that guild hall."

"I heard Ita Rienus talking about the geography of Tamriel again. She's very knowledgeable."

"There's no doubt that she knows a lot. Years of studying all sorts of things, I'd expect."

"Do you think anyone in Bravil knows more about Tamriel than Ita Rienus?"

"Perhaps she grew bored with studying nothing but enchantments and spells. I know I would."

"How does Ita Rienus know so much about Tamriel?"

"I would assume she's travelled extensively. Must have been some time ago, though, since she never seems to leave the guild hall now."

Unused DialogueEdit

Similar to NPCs such as Else God-Hater, you were originally intended to have replies to Ita's Bravil topic. You could've either said:

Enough.

No. Go on...

Only your responses remain, but not Ita's dialogue. Based on the rumors about her, it's likely that she was originally intended to tell you something geography-related. Also, unlike some other people, seeing as these replies don't line up with her finalized reponse to the Bravil topic, it seems her dialogue was changed at some point.

BugsEdit

While she was supposed to train in the basement all day long until 6pm, another wandering script will prevail and cut off the spell-casting one.
- The Unofficial Oblivion Patch, version 3.3.0, fixes this bug.
A combination of her Illusion skill level of 15 and her total available magicka results in Ita being unable to cast any of her Expert- and Master-level spells.

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.
