As a level 15 Path Mage, Valia has taken on a lot of apprentices herself and spread the specialty all around Thorasia. Alzar and Valia have a long negotiated process, and at the end, come to some agreements:

Alzar will provide Valia with Return to Alzar, and the material components.
Alzar will allow Valia to copy his notes on the creation of the Shade and the Spectral Wizard
Alzar will allow Valia to gain the Bind Tabi and Summon Soul Eater spells.
She never knew Consume Knowledge either, and now she’s high enough to use it, so Alzar will share that with her as well.
The ability to copy his book on the Soul Gem for the old library again (no copies there, and she has the Soul Gem).

That will improve her power considerably. They both know that his lost items and such she gained with remain hers. That’s just the way of things. Sure, he’d like to get some of the useful magical items in his laboratory and such, or the money she inherited.

Instead, she will provide him:

A Bag of Holding, 10000 coins. He hasn’t gotten any since coming here.

For the next year plus, at least three times a week, she will arrive at Pandius, a total of 200 times. Each time, she will bring books from the library that Alzar wants and doesn’t have access too that have been Bookcopied and he can add back to his library.

With the Bags of Holding she inherited from Alzar, she can, over a year, with the Bookcopy spell, bring over his entire library from Thorasia. She has 8 apprentices who can help copying books.

Meanwhile, Alzar has finished repairing the books from the Alicor Library. They are historical, contemporary historical, and magical treatises.
