'''Summit Academy''' was the venue for a series of pay events that ran under different names and themes, including Sylinar's Spire, Summit Expression Faire, and Return to Summit Academy. The pay events held at Summit Academy had a specialized focus, such as enhancives or signature verbs. The last Summit Academy event was run in 2017.

Summit Academy is no longer used as a standalone venue for events, however its grounds have been incorporated into part of [[:Category:Rumor Woods|Rumor Woods]] when the new event began in 2019. '''For information about Rumor Woods and its offerings, see the [[:Category:Rumor Woods|Rumor Woods]] pay event page.'''

==Features==
Event offerings varied depending on the event's billed name. Sylinar's Spire focused on enhancives while the Summit Expression Faire focused on signature verbs and similar character customizations. Both were run by live GM merchants and NPCs. Return to Summit Academy also focused on character customizations and first introduced automated systems for acquiring them, which are now used as part of [[:Category:Rumor Woods|Rumor Woods]] and similar events.

The information presented below is associated with the last event held exclusively on the Summit Academy grounds in December 2017.

===Shopping===
The event grounds are free to access, and [[Summit Academy/shop listing 2017|limited shopping is available for those with the silvers]].

===Services===
Character customizations will be available on the College Grounds (Brickburn Hall, Ostwicke Hall, Groundskeeper's Cottage, Sebastian House, Thurgine Hall). Enhancive and fusion work will be handled inside Sylinar's Spire.

All information for the available options for customizations can be seen by READing each LIST in the appropriate room on the grounds.

'''Magical cubes''' will contain both gems and coins, and could possibly return a special custom certificate that will offer a pre-made Fire Spirit, Major Sanctuary, Manna Bread, Animated Disk, Call swarm, or Grasp of the Grave to the recipient. A few delayed services for player designed versions are also included. They must be opened on the Summit Academy grounds. - This service/game is no longer available as of the December 2017 run.

The '''[[fusion shaman]]''' can be found in a hidden alcove on the ground floor of the tower.

;Enhancive Exclusions
Due to the nature of specific items, some enhancives won't be able to be worked on. This includes the following:
*Fusion
*Consumables
*Permanent (never lose a charge)
*Non-rechargeables (for enhancives, not magic items)

;Character Limitations
A single character can have up to the following:
*Fifty (50) [[signature verb]]s ([[Summit Academy/December 2017 signature verbs|event options]])
*Fifty (50) [[custom spell prep]]s ([[Summit Academy/December 2017 custom spell preps|event options]])
*Fifty (50) [[custom swear]]s ([[Summit Academy/December 2017 custom swears|event options]])

===Portal/Travel Info===
No longer will one need to seek out a portal to gain access to the grounds! Typing {{boldmono|QUEST TRANSPORT}} will work from most in-town locations, provided they do not block magical transportation.

'''Residents of [[Ta'Vaalor]], take note!''' Because the Fortress of Ta'Vaalor is warded to prevent anyone from teleporting into its walls, you will have to walk outside the gates to enter Summit Academy.
