There's a long explanation in the Readme about how my version concludes the research based on your leaving the Clerk's Ward and coming back.

Two things I've learned since implementing it that way have made me reconsider:

1) Discovering a while back that the timers in game operate on game time, not real time. I thought they were real time, but they weren't, and game time is preferable for this.
2) There are issues if you use the modron cube as your primary means of traveling around (i.e. with my method it would conclude instantly if you went to the cube and came back).

So, I'm going over to the method used by both Restoration Pack and SKARDAVNELNATE, which was to implement a game-time based timer. In UB version 3.0 foward, it will simply take him approximately 20 hours of game time to complete his research.
