arranging dark tomes and sinister relics ALIGN the sigils. POWER is in precision, Apprentice.
what do you need me to do?
Collect rare Blood Samples from powerful creatures for my research. The essence of life... it fuels our dark art. Hurry, apprentice! Time is of the essence.
Yes, that's correct. NOW, we must mix these blood samples with the cursed artifact. But be warned, the power you seek is not for the faint of heart.
Good. Now go, venture into the depths of the cursed ruins. Face the monsters and beasts that guard the artifact. Prove your worth, apprentice.
Use your charm and wit to distract them, while I weaken them with my spells. When the moment is right, strike swiftly and claim the artifact.
Excellent! Bring the artifact back to me. There is still one final step to complete the ritual. We must now offer a sacrifice to awaken its true power.
A sacrifice, my apprentice. Something... valuable. Perhaps a noble or an innocent soul. Someone who possesses great potential.
Sacrifice? Who would we sacrifice..?
Sacrifice? Who would we sacrifice..? The wealthy merchant whose pockets are filled with gold, or perhaps the noblewoman who wields great influence?
Or- could we use a monster as the sacrifice instead?
An intriguing idea, apprentice. Using a monster as a sacrifice... It could amplify our powers beyond imagination. Let us give it a try.
Great! Then lets go ahead and put the artifact in place then perform the ritual
Indeed, apprentice. Let us proceed with caution and delicacy. We must ensure that every step of this dark ritual goes according to plan.
Now, let us begin the ritual. Recite the incantation I taught you, apprentice. Speak the words with conviction and a steady voice.
Ok I recite the incantation we agreed upon
Good, now watch closely as the dark energies swirl around us. Feel the power coursing through your veins, apprentice. Embrace it, let it consume you.
