Wiscard has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you. How could you <Emphasis>possibly</Emphasis> pass it up?
Wiscard confides that there are energies at work in every action, which constrain him from seeking payment for a very valuable skill he would teach you. But of course, you are happy to perform a small errand for him in return, and deliver a letter to Rowena.
Rowena receives the message with ill grace. Her facility for curses is impressive, but you are left wondering why anyone would fall into arrears with this daughter of the Fury. Your ears still ringing with invectives, return now to Wiscard.
From Wiscard's reaction, you get an inkling of what all this talk of energy exchange might mean, and ponder over public persona and private predilections. Rather than go down this primrose path, it might be best to simply purchase whatever tomes from Tataroga you find desirable; only then can you learn the master crafting recipes held within...
Objectives[]
Deliver the letter to Rowena.
Report to Wiscard.
Script[]
Submission Impossible script
Wiscard
Let me guess─no, not guess─let me tell you why you're not happy. You, sister/brother adventurer, are not fulfilling your potential as a crafter!
Wiscard
Now, what I'm going to do is teach you how to craft a glamour prism. And I will not accept a single gil. Do you know why? Bad energy!
Wiscard
...No doubt you are ill at ease accepting such a valuable gift without lifting a finger in return. Well, if you feel you must do something, you can take this letter to Rowena─with my undying love!
Wiscard
Worry not! Just let my words be your guide once you stand before Rowena, her arms akimbo, her eyes scornful... Look, adventurer to adventurer, may I tell you something? I'm sure you'll go far in this world! Someday, you may be standing where I am, blazing trails and taking charge.
Remember, every delivery is also a deliverance!
Rowena
You again, messenger girl/boy? What do you want o' me now?
Rowena
Not that fool Wiscard again! Undyin' love, he says? In debt to me up to his neck, and writin' to beg for more time to repay... Hah! Not bloody likely!
Rowena
<sigh> Right delusional, that one. Plays at bein' a man, but he's no more than a worm. I'd spit in his eye and tell the world what a puddle o' piss he is, were he standin' before me!
Rowena
Undyin's a good sort o' word, though. Tell him I'm doublin' his interest─his debt's goin' to live just about forever! As far as I'm concerned, he can crawl on all fours, lickin' up crumbs and scrabblin' for dropped gil.
Rowena
What a fool. Got plenty o' good wares, but he won't get off his arse and turn 'em into profit. He could get square with me and then some, if he wanted to.
Rowena
Tell him to fall into his pease porridge and die, for all I care. I'll sell off his corse to the resurrection men for a few coppers.
Wiscard
Hahaha, magnificent! I witnessed all! You might not have heard me, but I can assure you I was applauding the entire while!
Wiscard
The cutting words, the enfeebling images! She raises excoriation to the realm of art. A realm...a dominion over which she rules with an iron hand, forcing her wretched subject to grovel in the dirt!
Wiscard
That, my sister/brother adventurer, is the secret! It's about balancing energies. Dark and light, high and low. But enough of philosophy─on to practical things! The making of glamour prisms you shall learn!
Wiscard
...Though not from me. Alas, Mistress Rowena has yoked me to a truly backbreaking debt. She bids me get down to business, and that is what I must do.
Wiscard
But fear not! Everything you need to know about crafting the prism can be found in the tomes Tataroga deals in! And they can all be yours for a special low price! Don't let these deals pass you by!
