"Hushhhh... The dead whisper. Listen! 'Al Azif' echoes!"
can you teach me how to do magic?
"Magic is the will of your blood, the power of your conviction! Learn to channel it!"
so I just say what I want to happen and it happens?
"Yes, but first you must incase your mind with determination, fortify your spirit with fervor!"
"Repeat the words of the spell! Emote your conviction!"
I repeat the words of the spell while my face turns red and veins appear on my forehead
"Good, very good! You have the raw emotion, but the control, the finesse is lacking! Work on your technique! You must hold back none of your passion! Unleash it all!"
I say the words again this time shouting them
"Yes, shout it! Let the whole world hear the might of your will! But be careful, MountainEcho, too much magic can take its toll! Be wary!"
I want to be able to cast spells like you do! What level of magic do you teach?
"The magic I teach... it is not for the weak! It demands sacrifice, it demands dedication! But if you're willing to give yourself to it, I can teach you what you need to know!"
how was your power level at the time of your death?
"My power level at the time of my death was quite high! At the peak of my power I could bend reality itself to my whims! But my strength came at a price..."
"A heavy one indeed! In exchange for unimaginable power, I gave up something far more precious! My humanity! I became a monster!"
why did you give up your humanity?
"Curiosity, greed! The allure of power, it clouds the mind and dulls the senses! Do not make the same mistake I did! Know your limitations! Power without control is worthless!"
what is your offer? to bring me into your fold?
"Not just any fold, my young apprentice! I offer you a place by my side! Become my Scion, and together we shall conquer the world!"
"The cost is simple, my dear apprentice! You must prove your loyalty! Swear fealty to me and your life shall be mine! It is the only way to true power!"
How may I serve you lord?
"Swear your oath to me, and together we shall begin our journey. Then, you will start by cleansing the crypt of its undead inhabitants. Show me your resolve."
where are they looking around nervously
"Fear not, my apprentice! I sense their presence lurking in the shadows. Now, let us face them together!" summons a pair of spectral blades
there isn’t anyone here. I think we were tricked.
"Tricked?! Fool! This place reeks of dark magic! Your senses must be clouded by fear! Look again!" summons flames to light up the crypt
