The teach command is used to provide instruction in skill to other nobles.

Teaching must be done in a tower. Only one class can take place at a time in a tower. The teacher is the first noble in the tower issuing a "teach" command. The first five nobles in the tower who would benefit from studying that subject are his students.

For example, suppose that on a particular day, the following nobles are in a tower executing the indicated commands:

   Newark Academy [z38], tower, defense 20, owner:
      Fenris [re7]                      (study 9502)  * 
      Kosar the Indefectible [aw0]      (study 9501)
      Captain McCook [ea0]              (study 120)   *
      Oleg [o1eg]                       (teach 120)   +
      Dr. Pangloss [ac6y]               (study 9614)  *
      Law Netexus [au0]                 (study 120)   *
      Alion Krysaka [e1y]               (study 121)
      Dr. Pain [em28]                   (teach 121)
      S.K. Renta [ep76]                 (study 120)   *
      Armweak [em78]			(study 120)

The plus in this example indicates the teacher, the asterisks indicate students who benefit from his teaching.

The only teacher in this tower is Oleg. Dr. Pain is not considered a teacher, because he is not the first teacher in the tower. Fenris benefits from Oleg's teaching because [9502] is a subskill of [120] and he is one of the first five students. Kosar does not benefit, because 9501 is not a subskill of [120]. Likewise Alion does not benefit because he is studying [121]. Note that Armweak does not benefit because, although he is studying the proper subject, he is not one of the first five students in the tower.

You cannot teach [3500] Basic Religion or [170] Advanced sorcery.
