Challenge #04420-L036: Sore-ting Systems

This library is enchanted. It will always provide you with the knowledge you need. However, it may not be the knowledge you want. You have been warned. -- Fighting Fit

If knowledge is power, and power corrupts, it therefore follows that knowledge must be restricted. Such is the logic of dictators everywhere. Despite this, people still need knowledge, like they need sustenance, or medicine. Even the knowledge of which medicines work is needed. Even the dictators step back from restricting all knowledge.

Except for one.

Their fate is the same as the fate of all dictators. Peasants with torches and the regret that they only had one life to be extinguished. There was little left of them to bury, but their legacy is the Library of Need. Made to stand forever and charmed to contain all the world's knowledge... but cursed to only deliver that which is needed by any who seek it.
