Following that, each of the members of the community will share their knowledge with the new Bringer of Knowledge, ensuring that they have a complete understanding of the information shared across this community. As this often results in many duplicate memories, the new Bringer of Knowledge then spends the next few days meditating and sorting through their mind, erasing any duplicate memories or peices of information. At which point, assuming they are still sane from the immense amount of magic and strength of mind that they had to use, the title transitions to them.
