Kinther

Kinther is a Redguard healer added as a replacement for Ohtesse by the Knights of the Nine official download. His services are nearly identical to those for Ohtesse: he offers advanced training in Restoration and sells spells at the Chapel of Arkay in Cheydinhal, but crucially will not provide you with the reference necessary to start Restoration Master Training with Oleta (see Bugs).

Kinther sleeps in the Chapel Hall between midnight and 6am. After wandering around for two hours, at 8am, if the weather is clear, he takes a relaxing stroll in downtown Cheydinhal, usually near Willow Bank or on the island between the two bridges. At 12pm he returns to the Chapel, where he will offer his services until 8pm, when he enjoys a two-hour dinner. After pacing around for another two hours, he finally heads to bed. He will offer his services when not sleeping, eating or outdoors.

Kinther wears a set of middle class clothing: a quilted doublet, light brown linens, and a pair of quilted shoes. He carries the keys to the chapel and undercroft along with a moderate amount of gold. Kinther doesn't wield any weapons, choosing instead to rely on Conjuration, Illusion, Mysticism, and Restoration spells, the same ones you can buy from him. However, he is actually unable to cast his Expert-level spells and most Journeyman-level spells (see Bugs).

Notes

• Kinther is one of only two replacement NPCs, alongside Selene Duronia, whose race isn't identical to the person they're replacing.

Bugs

• Kinther does not provide the reference necessary to start Restoration Master Training with Oleta.
  • The Unofficial Oblivion DLC Patches, version 7, fixes this bug.
• A combination of his Restoration skill level of 54 and his total available magicka results in Kinther being unable to cast any of his Journeyman- and Expert-level spells, except for Greater Fortify Intelligence.

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.
