Pass Grizelian's test in order to become a Adept of Primal magic.


Quest text[edit]

Listen to the task Grizelian has for you.

It's good to see you, <player>. I knew you'd come to me sooner or later. Mastery over our magic is something every dragon must learn one day, even those Lunus brutes. The bipeds will never command true magic. Even those who study nature itself will never understand what it is to be a true primal force of creation. What I have to share with you is nothing to be taken lightly. It gives power over more than just elements or life. It is the key to creation itself.


Helian herself was greatly skilled in Primal magic, as everyone knows, but so was General Lunus. Too many of his followers remember him only for his martial prowess, sad to say. That false impression leads many Lunus to look down on the Primal arts and those who practice them. They are short-sighted and prone to thinking with their teeth. The Great Schism was brought about by a great many things. I'm sure you know it was mainly the result of philosophical differences, to put it kindly, but Lunus stubbornness contributed greatly.

I myself took after Helian and became a scholar. Bipeds need to be guided, not culled and trimmed. Alas, you are not here to debate or speak of history, are you? You wish to learn, not be lectured. Well, know this: the mastery of Primal magic, like all knowledge, is power. Use it wisely and harness it well.

As for your lesson, I've a test for you first. There are creatures known as oastics. Some of their attacks bypass our hide to damage our very essence. I would have you kill leafy oastics for me. Not the tamed apple oastics, either! They get picked on enough. When you return, we will talk more and I will pass on to you our secret techniques.


Defeat twelve (12) Leafy Oastics. Hint: The only known location for Leafy Oastics is on an island known as the Abandoned Island. So named because it is no longer inhabited by Istarians, can only be reached by traveling to the tip of Scorpion Island and using a teleport gate found there. Follow the road as far out along the tail as you can go. In the west side of that mountain is a cave, and within that cave is the gate you are looking for.

Game Feedback: After many fierce battles, the oastics are dead. You have accomplished what has been asked. Return to Chiconis for your lesson.


Return to Grizelian in Chiconis for your lesson

The time has come for me to pass these techniques to you. Watch me carefully, then try the techniques yourself a few times. These esoteric gestures help channel and focus the Primal energies. Practice them, and return to me later when you have gained enough knowledge of the world to be ready for my teaching.

Game Feedback: Grizelian moves his forelegs and wings in intricate patterns, drawing symbols in the air. You feel a thrum of power and the doors of your mind are flung open. This is Primal magic in pure form.
