Aldric: taps fingers impatiently C’mon, kid, tick-tock. Rare artifact or bust. Don’t blow it.
I can't do this, not without knowing why we're here. What's the point of all this?
Aldric rolls his eyes and crosses his arms
Aldric: The point, my naive apprentice, is that the most powerful magical artifacts are hidden in the most dangerous places. And knowledge is power. You want answers? Go out there and find them. Stop asking questions.
ok....I pull out my magic book and start looking up spells
Aldric watches you closely, observing your progress
Aldric: leans against a nearby pillar Make sure you double-check the spell incantation and gestures. One mistake could lead to an unpleasant outcome.
I’m trying… but these spells aren’t easy… especially since I can’t really practice here..
sighs Ah, yes, the limitations of our little archaeological expedition. No worries, kid, just keep at it. The key is focus. Channel your inner magic, visualize the desired outcome, and channel it into reality. And don’t worry if it’s not perfect at first, practice makes perfect.
Ok ok I’m trying I say as I start doing the spell
Aldric watches intently, tapping his fingers rapidly on his cane as he scrutinizes your every move Aldric: Focus, kid. You’re fumbling around like a novice. Get a grip on your magic.
well I mean we did just get here so give me a sec I look around trying to find something
Aldric rolls his eyes, tapping his fingers faster. Aldric: You’ve got all the time in the world, kid. But if we don’t find that artifact soon, the sun will be setting on our chances of getting out of here alive. Hurry up.
I start muttering incantations to myself as I begin summoning something
Aldric watches intently, his fingers still tapping impatiently. He scrutinizes your concentration and gestures, assessing your control over the forbidden magic. Aldric: under his breath Careful now. That spell has a reputation for being tricky to handle. Don’t let it slip out of control.
I don't know how you expect me to do this without knowing what kind of magic was used
Magic is all about understanding patterns and connections. You think you’ve got nothing to go on? Take another look around. There might be clues hidden in plain sight. The ancient runes on the walls, the symbols etched into the stone – they might hold the key to deciphering the magic used here. Trust me, it’s all about paying attention to details.
Aldric rolls his eyes and crosses his arms Aldric: "Trying" isn’t good enough. You need to focus and channel your magic properly. Stop dawdling and try again!
Ok ok got it! She focused her energy and summoned the artifact.
Aldric's eyes widen with surprise as the forbidden spell is successfully cast. He steps closer to inspect the artifact.
Aldric: Impressive. You've done well, kid. But don't get cocky just yet. This artifact is a powerful relic, and we don't know its true purpose.
"i'm trying..." i say as i focus harder, sweat dripping from my brow
Aldric rolls his eyes, crossing his arms. Aldric: sighs Your focus is weak. Relax. You're trying too hard. He steps closer, watching your every move intently.
Ok ok… I say raising my hand as I focus on summoning the artifact
watches intently, tapping his fingers even faster “Focus, kid. Remember, it’s all about channeling your magical energy and concentrating on the artifact. No room for doubts or distractions.”
after hours of trying I was able to summon it
Aldric's eyes widened in surprise and curiosity as he saw the forbidden spell materialize before you. Aldric: Well, well, well... Look at you, young one. You've actually done it. The ancient magic responds to your call. He approached the summoned spell cautiously, his eyes flickering with a mix of fascination and caution.
ok silva starts to chant something and then suddenly a artifact appears in front of silva
Aldric’s eyes widen as he sees the artifact materialize before Silva. Impressive, kid. You’ve got potential. He approaches the artifact, examining it closely. What exactly did you just summon?
summons the forbidden spell, causing a shockwave that knocks both Aldric and himself off their feet
Aldric grunts as the shockwave hits, his composure faltering for a moment before he regains his footing.
Aldric: coughs That was… unexpected. But good work, kid. Seems like you’ve got some hidden talent after all.
I can't summon something without knowing what it does
sighs, clearly irritated by your lack of understanding
Aldric: You’re supposed to be my apprentice, yet you can’t even summon a basic spell? How did you pass my selection process? Are you even listening to me? I told you, these ancient ruins hold forbidden knowledge. We need to find the spell, regardless of its purpose. Focus, kid!
