Deadmanwalking:
Yeah, I'm talking Arcane Library.

And by research, I mean precisely that: Research. "What the hell was that that just attacked me?" "Where do Trolls usually live if there aren't any nearby bridges?" "What the heck do Rakshasa have in the way of weaknesses?"

That kind of thing. Nothing to do with ritual preparation, but quite useful.

As for an Arcane Sanctum, I'm not actually sure. Maybe it's an artifact from an earlier draft of the spellcasting rules, or maybe you can use it to enhance your spellacasting somehow. The only thing I'll guarantee is that it doesn't act as a restriction on your spellcasting ability.

crusher_bob:
Won't a rating 3 workspace give you a 'no time' declaration for Thaumaturgy?  If you are working on something, you can just root around in your workspace for a minute and come up with the right tools for the job, right?

JosephKell:
A workspace of X might cap your rating in another skill.

For instance even if you have a Lore of 5, if you only have a library of resource 3, you might roll at 3 instead of at 5 (assuming you are looking for reference book level of detail).
