Objectives

Observe Deucus Valdera as he attempts one of the vrykul recipes.

• Attempt to make a Draught of Raw Magic

Description

The tome contains a wealth of ancient vrykul recipes! Why, I could be the first alchemist in untold ages to craft one! How fortunate for you, friend <name>, that you are here to bear witness to my greatness!

Awful kind of that Svena person to die and leave her book for us, eh? Silly vrykul...

Rewards

You will receive:

• 15,070 XP

Completion

My poor table!

All the implements we needed to mix the new potions were on that table. Without them, the new recipes are useless!

Finding replacements will be no small task, but I'm confident you're up to it. If you need guidance, I can suggest places to look for the items we need.

Now, off with you!

Notes

On accept

Deucus Valdera says: Let's try the recipe for this "Draught of Wild Magic", shall we?

Deucus Valdera says: Join me over here, <name>. I believe we have some of the reagents here on this shelf.

The ghost of Svena the Infused appears. She strangulates Deucus and the adventurer.

Svena the Infused says: WHO DARES TAMPER WITH MY BOOK?

Svena the Infused says: ITS SECRETS ARE NOT YOURS TO STEAL, MORTALS!

Svena the Infused says: YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR INSOLENCE! THIS ENTIRE CITY WILL BURN!

Archmage Khadgar yells: Dalaran is under my protection, vrykul! BEGONE!

Archmage Khadgar suddenly appears at the door and blasts the vrykul away.

Archmage Khadgar says: Thankfully I sensed her presence before she could do too much damage. Is anyone hurt?

Deucus Valdera says: We'll be fine, Archmage, but... look what that wretched creature did to my alchemy table!

Archmage Khadgar says: Our friend <name> can help rebuild your precious table, Deucus. Oh, and next time, have more care when handling ancient relics!

Khadgar walks away.
