It just give a untrain message.  I can dig up the message if need be, but
its not really useful.  My understanding is that it takes away a percentage
of each item you've trained it.  Also each untraining takes away a "block"
of training.  Its more then a rank, but it seemed to vary only how many were
undone in one shot.  More total ranks seemed to equal a larger "block".

Rodnus doesn't take anything away.  Only Knox and Angalisa do.  Since
exactly how much they take away isn't known for sure and since DT can easily
tweak it, I don't think trying to account for the loss would be that great
of an idea.  I'd say to just total everything trained, not accounting for
the untraining.  I do like the idea of remembering what message was last
said by each trainer.  If these start being kept track of, it'd be nice to
also have the lady (can't think of her name) that informs evus of one's
progress to be listed too.  Has anyone ever compiled a list of her sayings?
I just started to get a new one.

I'm told that both the gossamer and blood blade both untrain like the fell
sword.  I'll see if I can get messages on either.

I don't believe there is, but I'll double check to make sure.
