Midas, who was not without political influence, was able to pull strings and commision the construction of his shop just outside the inner gates of the Arcane University to spite Traven and continue his research. Once completed, Midas published his research and made it and the use of his facilities available to the general public; giving access to spells that in many ways surpass those that are only available to Mage's Guild Members.
