Objectives

Look through the Bag of Helpful Goods for the Ley Scepter, then use it to repair 2 platforms.

•  [Ley Scepter] recovered from bag
• North arcane field repaired ^{[39.6, 60.3]}
• East arcane field repaired ^{[41.2, 62.3]}
•  [Bag of Helpful Goods] (provided)

Description

We cannot activate the oathstone in the Azure Archives until we fix the issue with the out of control ley energy here.

Two out of the three draconic runes that are meant to control it are being choked by unstable arcana.

I apologize that this falls to you, given Khadgar's responsibilities and the lack of my brethren appearing.

There should be a ley scepter within that bag of helpful goods you have.

Use it to help repair the runes nearby.

Rewards

You will receive:

• 26 91 48
• 9,800 XP
• +50 reputation with Valdrakken Accord
• +100 reputation with Kirin Tor

Progress

The ley scepter should allow you to properly align and configure the runes nearby.

Completion

Excellent work. It seems these runes are able to transport us to the top of the archives.

I believe that may be where our last problem resides...

Notes

Pick up  [65-68] Driven Mad from another mirror image before heading out.

Use the Extra Action Button to search through the  [Bag of Helpful Goods]:

 Search Bag of Helpful Goods — Search through a seemingly bottomless bag for one specific item. How hard could it be?

Luckily, the  [Ley Scepter] pops out on the first try. Use the scepter at the eastern arcane field:

???? says: Who... are... you?

Head to the northern arcane field:

???? says: Affixes... seek... top... of... archives...
