Ignaz | Ah - you've come just in time. I'm in need of an assistant for a magic experiment. | |
Ignaz | I'm sure you're eager to do me a favor for science's sake. | |
Me | Easy, my friend. First tell me what this is all about. | |
Ignaz | I have developed a new spell. A Spell of Oblivion. | |
Ignaz | I've already successfully carried out a few practical applications, but I don't have the time to conduct one final test. | |
Me | What's in it for me if I help you? | |
Ignaz | I could teach you how to brew potions. | |
Ignaz | I know the recipes for healing and mana essences and for speed potions. | |
Me | Tell me more about the experiment and the spell. | |
Ignaz | The spell serves to make somebody disremember various events. | |
Ignaz | So far, I have only found it to work when the person in question is angry - for instance, if he has just been knocked down, or robbed. | |
Ignaz | Even if he has only witnessed such a deed, he will scratch it from his memory. | |
Me | So I'm supposed to knock somebody down and then put a spell on him? | |
Me | That would only make sense if that person were REALLY mad after beating him up. | |
Me | (to himself) But fistfights are nothing out of the ordinary in the harbor district. I guess I'd have to find a victim elsewhere... | |
Ignaz | Yes, I think you get the point. But to make somebody angry, it is enough to attack him - you don't have to knock him down. | |
Ignaz | So you should pick somebody who's by himself - if there are other people around, you'll just get into trouble with Lord Andre. | |
Ignaz | Also, it makes no sense to cast the spell on someone who's busy attacking you. Wait for the right moment. | |
Me | All right, I'll try out that spell. | |
Ignaz | Then take this spell scroll and find yourself a suitable guinea pig. | |
Ignaz | Once you're done, come back and tell me how it went. | |
Me | About the experiment ... | |
Ignaz | Have you been successful, then? Or have you just wasted the spell scroll? Huh? | |
Ignaz | If you need more spell scrolls, you can buy them from me. | |
Me | I used the spell scroll. | |
Ignaz | Fine, fine. And were you successful? | |
Me | Yes, it worked. | |
Ignaz | Excellent. One small success for science, but a big one for me! | |
Ignaz | Now I can use my time to instruct you in the arts of alchemy. | |
Ignaz | I could also give you some useful things if you want. | |
Me | Show me your wares. | |
Me | Instruct me in the art of alchemy. | |
Ignaz | To prepare a potion at the alchemist's bench, you need a laboratory flask. | |
Ignaz | And you're going to need different plants or other ingredients for each potion. | |
Ignaz | What do you want to know? | |
Ignaz | You have learned all that I can teach you. | |
