The Test of Fire is from the olden days and has not been held for a long time.
Hyglas
What you are demanding is far too dangerous. So just don't think about it any more.
Hyglas
I am Master Hyglas, Guardian of the Fire and Keeper of Knowledge.
Hyglas
So Master Parlan has given you permission to study the scriptures.
Hyglas
Then it's up to you now to do exactly that. Study, so that you may find enlightenment in the scriptures.
Me
What are you studying, Master?
Hyglas
My research focuses on fire - the power of Innos.
Hyglas
It is his gift and, at the same time, a mighty weapon - and I create runes which contain this power.
Me
Very enlightening. Can you teach me that?
Hyglas
It is Innos who grants the magic. Only to his servants, the Magicians of Fire, is it given to learn how to wield this power.
Me
I have demanded the Test of Fire. Ulthar gave me the task to create a fire arrow rune.
Hyglas
And now you want me to teach you the formula?
Me
I don't know how else I could do it.
Hyglas
Hmm ...
Hyglas
All right, I shall teach you the formula. But first you need to find all the necessary ingredients.
Me
What ingredients do I need for a fire arrow rune?
Hyglas
Read up on it - it's right there in the books.
Me
Teach me to create the FIRE ARROW rune.
Hyglas
In order to create a fire arrow rune, you need to join the sulphur with the runestone at the rune table.
Hyglas
The power of the fire arrow spell scroll will flow into the rune, and you will possess a tool of Innos.
Hyglas
So, once you have all the raw materials, walk over to the rune table and create your rune.
Me
Where can I find a runestone?
Hyglas
Hey, it's you who demanded the test of the Fire - not I. Finding that out is part of the test.
Me
I've created the rune.
Hyglas
Well, well. You seem to have passed this test. That wasn't so hard, after all.
Hyglas
Then go to Ulthar now and show him your work.
Me
Teach me.
Me
Any news?
Hyglas
Hm, yes. Well, you have probably noticed those black-robed figures.
Me
I've met them.
Hyglas
This brings us to the core of the matter. At the moment, we are observing a very rare constellation of stars.
Hyglas
To be more exact, the sign of the Ox currently stands in direct correlation with the sign of the Warrior. I suppose that you know what that means.
Me
Hmm. Well, to be honest ...
Hyglas
Yes, right, I see. Well, I cannot explain the entire background to you now, but it definitely signifies great changes. And I do not like changes.
Hyglas
Therefore, I want you to get me a book from town. It is called 'The divine power of the stars'. You may have to rummage around for it a bit, but I'm sure that you can find it.
Me
Get the book yourself.
Hyglas
You dare speak to me in such a tone? Your behavior does not show the respect that is due to me.
Hyglas
Get out of my sight and think about your behavior.
Me
What's in it for me?
Hyglas
What do you mean?
Me
I'd like to know what you'll give me if I bring you the book.
Hyglas
Nothing. What were you expecting to get? If you have time to run an errand in town for me, it is even your duty to help me.
Me
I'll see whether I can find it.
Hyglas
That's good - it frees up my time so I can follow some other trails as well.
Hyglas
But don't take too much time. Time, I'm afraid, is what we have the least of.
Me
I've got the book for you.
Hyglas
Very good, give here.
Hyglas
So you changed your mind after all. Very good. So where do you have the book?
Hyglas
You may withdraw now. I shall retire and study.
Me
Found anything out yet?
Hyglas
Well, I cannot be completely sure, but the current constellation of the stars seems to indicate many dangers.
Me
What kind of dangers?
Hyglas
Well, the structure between the worlds seems to be very weak. It only takes a small portion of the power that would be necessary otherwise to tear a hole into this structure.
Hyglas
Demons could use those portals to enter our world without encountering resistance.
Hyglas
No, I am still waiting for that book.
Hyglas
I told you that I am still doing some research, but of course that will take longer if I do not have the necessary materials.
