Trial of the Scholar

To advance your learning, you must pass the Trial of the Scholar. Find the renowned Mystics and do as they say! First, you should seek out High Priest Sylvain in the Town of Dion.

High Priest Sylvain asks that you obtain the crystal of purity from Maria in the village so he can purify the Execution Grounds.

The secret of making crystals of purity has been kept by Maria's family for generations. She tells you that the scroll containing the secret method was stolen a month ago. Find Captain Lucas and ask him what happened.

Unfortunately, Maria's scroll has not yet been found. Go and tell her.

Maria agrees with Lucas's suggestion that they seek out a fortune-teller. She asks you to speak with Creta in Floran Village.

Creta asks you to find clues regarding the robbery. Return to Maria and ask her for clues.

It's Lucilla's handbag! She was a friend of Maria's who was there when the robbery happened. It might hold a clue! Take it to Creta.

Creta see the culprit's shadow in the handbag. Could it be the shadow of a Human?

Maria asks that you show the shadow to Captain Lucas, an expert in such matters.

Captain Lucas isn't sure that the shadow belongs to the thief, but it appears to belong to a Leto lizardman Warrior!

Maria asks you to track down the lizardmen and retrieve the stolen scroll. Monsters to Hunt - Leto Lizardman Warriors

You've retrieved the torn scroll from the Leto Lizardmen. Take it to Maria, she'll be able to read it.

The crystal of purity is complete! Take it to High Priest Sylvain.

High Priest Sylvain wanted you to help Maria make the crystal of purity. Return to Magister Mirien for your next assignment.

Mirien says that you must report to Grand Magister Jurek in Giran Castle Town.

Jurek asks you to hunt down the evil spirits who have recently gained magical powers, and to bring him what he needs for his investigation. Monsters to Hunt - Wastelands, Plains of Dion: Monster Eye Destroyers Breka's Stronghold: Breka Orc Shaman Dragon Valley: Shackles

You've collected all the items that Jurek requires. Take them to him in Giran Castle Town.

Jurek has given you a mark as a token of gratitude, and indicates he is still seeking evidence to prove his suspicions. Return to Mirien.

Your last assignment is with Elder Cronos in Hunters Village. Go and find him.

Elder Cronos asks you what your purpose is in learning magic. When he is convinced of what you say, he tells you of a book called the Scriptures of Knowledge, which he onced used. Visit Dieter at the Wizard Guild of Giran Castle to obtain the book.

Dieter has lost the Scriptures of Knowledge! Consult Astrologer Creta again.

Creta gives you a letter of explanation and asks you to deliver it to the owner of the key, saying that she sees several shadows there.

Dieter suggests that you speak with Edroc, the son of the owners of the inn they were staying in. He may remember something.

Trader Edroc remembers the incident. He retrieves an envelope they left behind when they departed for Gludin Harbor. Written on the envelope is ‘Warehouse Freightman Raut'.

Raut gives you the first chapter of the scripture and asks you to forgive his brother's youthful indiscretions. Raut says he doesn't know where the other three chapters are, but suggests you ask his brother and tells you where to find him.

Triff was the lone survivor of a deadly magical attack. They say that he was able to hide some of the scriptures before the evil spirits took the lot of them.. You must journey afar to complete the Scriptures of Knowledge! Town of Giran: Warehouse Keeper Valkon Town of Dion: Blacksmith Poitan Monster to Hunt - Death Pass: Grandis

Elder Casian regrets that he cannot understand the contents from only one chapter. You must find the rest of the scriptures! Death Pass: Evil Spirit Grandis Giran Castle Town's Warehouse Keeper Valkon.

Elder Casian asks you for the materials he needs to copy the Scriptures of Knowledge. Monsters to Hunt - Execution Grounds: Ghouls Gorgon Flower Garden: Medusas Death Pass: Fettered Souls Crater of Ivory Tower: Enchanted Gargoyles

You've gotten the materials that Elder Casian needs. Take them to him in the Wastelands.

The Scriptures of Knowledge are not complete without the introduction and the fifth chapter! Elder Casian is regretful, but there is nothing to be done since they have been destroyed. You've retrieved all of that's left of the Scriptures of Knowledge. Return to Elder Cronos.

Elder Cronos says that the Scriptures of Knowledge are merely one interpretation of the greater Tablet of Maphr, which contains the ultimate secrets of geometry - translated by the giants from the Gods themselves! He continues to say that the authors had to discontinue their work once it was realized that the dark secrets contained within were too powerful for this world. He is very pleased with you and what you have brought him and gives you something in return. Return to Magister Mirien.
