Actually, read the piece by Clint Black that PEG put on their website.  It
sort of overhauled Librarians and make them work in a manner sort of akin to
Junkers.  The way the Librarian AB was done in Shattered Coast seems just
plain pointless to me, but I actually liked the way Clint retooled them.  If
my players decide to play arcane Librarians, I've decided that they're going
to work that way or they'll just have to settle for mundane Librarians.
I'll probably have to run a Librarian or two and see how it works before
making any final decisions, but I think they could work that way.  I like
the idea of information spirits.
