Path to an Elven Wizard

Elven Wizards are in the preparatory level before becoming a Spellsinger or Elemental Summoner. They aren't to be compared with the likes of the Dark Elves, who walk the path of evil.

To become an Elven Wizard, you must learn how to communicate with the spirits. For this communication, you must find the four jewels that symbolize water, fire, wind and earth and then perform a ritual. The ritual is performed to gain understanding of the basic elements that construct the world, and to receive Eva's blessing.

Just recently, a young one of your age came and finished the ritual. What do you think? Will you take the challenge?

Take the challenge Take the challenge later

Well, it is not a bad idea to savor the charm of nature a little longer and take the challenge later.

Looking again ... I see you have already earned the title of Elven Wizard ... Why are you trying to challenge the trial again? Leave the trial for those younger than you ... You should concentrate more on the task of studying the order of mother nature.

Oh no... At my age, my eyes are always tricking me. I'm afraid you cannot perform the ritual. Only Elven Mystics have the qualifications for it.

I must go back to my knitting. My grandson will be having his birthday soon.

Wait, wait... Look here, young one, I think I have made a mistake. I think you are yet too young. We cannot let such young souls as you enter the harsh world too quickly. Come back to me after you have acquired more experience.

Hmmm now, aren't you the one who finished the ritual? What are you waiting for? Go take a step into the wider world. Seek the High Priest. He will teach you what you must do and how to survive.

May the protection of mother Eva be with you .

Four things are required to perform the ritual. They are 4 jewels that represent water, fire, wind and the earth. If you devote the jewels to Mother Nature and perform the ritual for Eva's blessing, in return, you will be able to communicate more deeply with the spirits.

First, I give you this Fertility Peridot. This is the token of earth, symbolizing abundance and productivity. This is given to you, who wants to have a deeper understanding of nature, as a gift.

Now you must find the remaining three by yourself. Which one do you want to seek first?

Ruby, symbol of fire Aquamarine, symbol of water Amethyst, symbol of wind

Ruby... When I look at the red hues, I feel a memory stirring the passions of my youth... If you seek the ruby, symbol of fire, go to Magister Greenis in the Elven Village. I was her godmother when she was born. She is a fine lady. Please give her this letter I wrote about you so she will help you to find the ruby.

Take the letter I gave you to Magister Greenis in the Elven Village. If you ask her for help, she will tell you about the ruby that symbolizes fire.

Have you met Magister Greenis? How is the dear child? If you do as she says, you can find the ruby.

Are you testing me? Don't you already have the Magical Powers Ruby?

If you devote four jewels, symbolizing water, fire, wind and earth, to Mother Nature and perform the ritual for Eva's blessing, in return, you will be able to communicate more deeply with the spirits.

I already gave you the Fertility Peridot so go and find the remaining three by yourself. Which jewel do you want to seek first?

Ruby, symbol of fire Aquamarine, symbol of water Amethyst, symbol of wind

How about learning a spell that increases memory? Haven't you already found the Pure Aquamarine? A young one like you should have a better memory!

As I told you before, the Pure Aquamarine symbolizes water. The Elves who serve Eva always have divine protection of water. That's why the Aquamarine, which has the power of water, is the most beloved jewel among Elven Mystics.

Of course, you probably already know that water is the symbol of our mother Eva. Therefore, unlike other races, we elves receive the divine protection of mother Eva in the water. You need not go far to find the Pure Aquamarine, that symbolizes water. It can be found in the Elven Forest. Go to Thalia who tends the Mother Tree at Lake Iris. Give this fruit to her as a give, and ask her about the jewel. She will gladly help you.

You can reach Lake Iris if you go straight south of the Elven Village. Thalia will be at the eastern shore of the lake. Well then, good luck.

Go see Thalia, who takes care of the Mother Tree on Lake Iris. She will tell you about the Pure Aquamarine.

You can reach Lake Iris if you go straight south of the Elven Village. Thalia will be at the eastern shore of the lake.

Did Thalia tell you about the Aquamarine? She is a very clever girl. She may test your skills. Her favorite test is related to the Gold Leaves. You can usually get them from the dryad elders.

Don't you already have the Nobility Amethyst? Try to find the other jewels.

The Nobility Amethyst is the symbol of elegance and nobility and at the same time is the symbol of Sayha, the God of Wind. The force of the wind within the jewel is an important material for Mystics who study the magic of storms. Well, if you had studied the basics, you would know all this...

Meet a person by the name of Northwind at the entrance to the Underground Fortress. He may know something about the Amethyst. Give this book to him and he will give you aid.

To find the Elven Fortress, first go north of the village to the Neutral Zone, cross the bridge, and enter the Elven forest. If you cross the bridge, you will immediately see the grand Elven Fortress. The entrance is at the other side of the mountain.

Give the book I gave you to Northwind. The book is called, 'Immortal Love'... A wonderful love story... So touching... He asked for the book a long time ago.

To find the Elven Fortress, first go north of the village to the Neutral Zone, cross the bridge, and enter the Elven forest. If you cross the bridge, you will immediately see the grand Elven Fortress. The entrance is at the other side of the mountain. You will be able to meet Northwind over there.

Didn't Northwind tell you the story of the Nobility Amethyst? There is no one who can better explain about the jewel in the Elven Forest. Meet him and ask him in detail.

Oh! You have collected all the jewels! Now we can begin the ritual.

Water is the source of life. Mother, and eternity. Cleanse our stained souls with the Tears of Eva, purer than anything in the world, and give us your new blessing...

With this, you have performed the ritual and earned the qualifications to become an Elven Wizard. Here, take this Eternity Diamond. If you take this to High Priest Raymond in Gludio Castle Town, he will change your occupation to Elven Wizard. Of course, you can go to High Priestess Levian in Gludin as well.

You have collected five clumps of Red Down. This will be useful in manufacturing the Magical Powers Ruby. Greenis will be waiting, so go to her quickly and give her the down.

You have collected five Gold Leaves with no difficulty, I see. There was a time when the Elven Forest was full of these leaves... Now they are very rare because of the dryads. Thalia must be waiting for these leaves, I don't want to keep her waiting. Bring her these leaves and be quick.

This is an ordinary Amethyst. Yes, this will be fine for Northwind to make a Nobility Amethyst. Northwind has a temper, so he won't wait long. If you are late, he may go someplace else. Hurry and go find him.

Ah... it is a letter from Rosella, my godmother. How is she? I have been so busy lately, I was unable to pay her a visit. I hope she doesn't think I am heartless. But you, I see you're searching for the Magical Powers Ruby. It symbolizes fire among people who study magic, right?

The ruby is a jewel that has been the symbol of our family for two hundred years, so there is no one in Oren or Gludio that knows it better than I do. Originally, rubies could be extracted from the mines in the northern part of Gludio. However, they collapsed during the war with Gracia and not a trace remains.

Since then, we have been unable to mine any more rubies in this area. Fortunately, I have a little bit of the magically powered ruby with me. However, being as precious as it is, I cannot give it to you for free, but I will give it to you if you do me one favor.

Say you will do the favor

I knew you would help me. The Magical Powers Ruby contains a fiery force, and it is a precious material for those who study Elemental Magic. Our family has been producing Mystics for generations, and we all benefit from these stones.

I would like to make more of these rubies, but I am short on one material component. I need a certain component that can be found on the necks of the Pincer Spider. It's called the Red Down.

Hunt Pincer Spiders and bring back five clumps of Red Down. I will then create a Magical Powers Ruby for you. Here... let me give you this. It is a talisman that I carry around for protection... It may be of some help to you.

Hunt Pincer Spiders and bring back five clumps of Red Down. Then, I will give you a Magical Powers Ruby.

Even Human Mystics use the ruby in their magical studies. The Wizards of the Ivory Tower use the refined red dust for summoning elemental spirits.

You have collected five clumps of Red Down. Now I can make new magical powers rubies. I'm relieved that I can fulfill my duties.

Next time, please come and watch how I make the magically powered ruby. I will tell you how it's made. Here, I will give you this Magical Powers Ruby as a gift.

And now there is a word of advice that I would like to give you. Don't be lazy in your magic studies once you become an Elven Wizard. When I was traveling near the Ivory Tower a long time ago, I heard that the high-level Mystics there spend twelve hours or more each day on their studies doing research. Studying is not everything, but there is a limit to what you can do through talent alone. I pray you'll develop your magical ability and enrich the proud heritage of the Elves.

What have you come here for? Oh... What a delicious looking apple! Is this for me? This reminds me of the legend of the Elven maiden who picked the apple of knowledge.

Rosella sent you? Are you looking for the Pure Aquamarine? Rosella asked me before... She told me to kindly tell the whereabouts of the Aquamarine of Water, should anyone ask for it.

But Aquamarines are not only precious, but a very valuable resource for us Elves. I cannot tell that secret to just anyone. If you perform a task for me, I shall tell you about the Aquamarine.

Say you will perform the task

My request is not a difficult one. A special fertilizer is needed to maintain the green health of the Mother Trees that we look after. This fertilizer is made from the leaves that fall from the trees in the Elven Forest.

Have you ever seen any fallen leaves in the Elven Forest? Probably not. That is because the dryad elders collect them even before the leaves have had a chance to settle on the ground. They gather these leaves and turn them into golden leaves. Use these golden leaves as fertilizer, and the trees of the Human world will never have to be fertilized again.

Take this sap with you and slay dryad elders to obtain the golden leaf in its possession. Bring back 5 golden leaves and I will tell you the whereabouts of the Aquamarine.

You are lacking in effort. My sisters and I have worked for hundreds of years without a day of rest to look after the Mother Trees and gather their fruit. Precious items require much work. I cannot tell you about the Aquamarine until you have gathered 5 Gold Leaves.

Elves serve Einhashad, Goddess of Light, along with our mother, Eva, and thus our magic possesses the properties of light. It is our responsibility to fill the forest and the plains with joyous music. This is what we ultimately seek to achieve through magic. When our songs fill the earth, the land will become a paradise.

You have found all 5 Gold Leaves, I see. In return, I will tell you about the Pure Aquamarine.

The Mother Tree normally does not have any dew, but when the roots absorb the nutrition of the golden leaves, large, beautiful drops of dew form. On rare occasions, one can find a Pure Aquamarine among the dew.

Here, take this Pure Aquamarine. I pray that you may safely pass your ritual. And do not forget... It is our responsibility to fill the forest and the plains with joyous music... When our songs fill the earth, the land will become a paradise.

Oh... Rosella must have sent it. I've been begging her for a month to lend me this book. The love story in this book is very impressive. You may criticize a man that reads Romance Novels, but... Love is a truth that does not change.

Hmm... Rosella has written a letter on the first page. She asks me to tell you about the Nobility Amethyst. Since you gave me the book I really wanted, and since Rosella has asked me, I will tell you how to find the Amethyst.

To obtain the Nobility Amethyst you need two regular Amethysts. You can get the Amethysts by killing the sukar wererat leaders in the Elven Underground Fortress. The Underground Fortress is dangerous... Please be careful.

I'll lend you this for good luck. It has always given me good luck. Return it when you have found the Amethyst.

If you want the Nobility Amethyst, fetch two regular Amethysts from the Underground Fortress. Defeat the sukar wererat leaders in the Underground Fortress to obtain the Amethysts. There is an old superstition that the Amethyst protects one's life. That is why I think those creatures always carry it around with them.

You have tremendous abilities. I'm sorry I didn't recognize it earlier. I thought an amateur with no skills was just depending on Rosella... I guess I was wrong.

The Nobility Amethyst can be created by blowing the wind of life into two regular ones. The wind of life is nothing else but the breath of Elves. Inheriting the life force of the Mother Tree, our breath contains the very primeval powers.

Now! Here is the Nobility Amethyst I have just made. Take this to Rosella.
