"Fair..." Keltham closes his eyes, pretends to concentrate. "Okay, huh, yeah, I've got at least one first-circle spell like that. But it sounds like I might need to figure out what they do first, today, and then put them into negotiations for real, later. Which I think implies... that today is maybe not best spent on equity and pay negotiations... so I could spend it learning about Golarion, learning about wizardry, or communicating really basic stuff of the sort where you can't plausibly industrialize a planet while keeping that stuff secret. Experimental method, formal epistemology for communicating results, the less complicated tiny bits that complicated substances are made of, that sort of thing. Where I'm not selling that part, but by giving it to you, I'm expecting to garner informal social capital of the sort that lets me put in requests for headbands and Detect Magic equipment on loan from the government. Your government can trade the information on for more informal social capital, but they need to credit me with some of that social gain, and can't copyright that information or declare it a secret. Oh, and besides learning wizardry, I should take a look at whatever your local heritage-optimization setup is, in case you're somehow doing something drastically wrong that explains why the average intelligence here is so low." He has no idea how to negotiate selling his genetic material right now, and certain aspects of him are in favor of doing that sooner rather than later.
