Objectives

Recover Herbert Gloomburst's book at the bottom of the nearby lake.

• Herbert's book recovered from the lake

Description

You've got some good spells for a novice mage. There are a few things holding you back, though.

For instance, it's absolutely clear to me you don't know Polymorph.

If you did, you would've been using it on the harpies that were attacking us!

Let's fix that. My spellbook has details on how to cast it... but my captors threw it into the nearby lake. Grab it for me, would you? Oh, and don't look through the book beforehand.

You will almost certainly regret it if you do.

Rewards

You will learn: [Polymorph]

You will receive:

• Money
• XP

Progress

Hopefully my book isn't too damaged from sitting at the bottom of the lake.

Completion

Perfect! The page for Polymorph is smudged, but a little guesswork never stopped me from figuring out a spell.

It'll be quick for me to show you how to cast this properly.

Notes

On accept

Herbert Gloomburst says: I'd get the book myself, but a good mage knows when to delegate.

On turn-in

Herbert Gloomburst says: Here's an example of Polymorph!

Herbert casts [Polymorph] on you, turning you into a sheep.

Warlord Breka Grimaxe says: Gloomburst, explain yourself!

Herbert Gloomburst says: I'm merely demonstrating how Polymorph is a^[sic] useful in a fight.

Herbert begins casting [Frostbolt].

Herbert Gloomburst says: Your opponent will wander around until you attack them. Like so.

Herbert's Frostbolt hits you and you revert back to your previous form.
