What?

Okay, I need elaboration!

Okay, but you're gonna be disappointed. You're only setting yourself up for heartbreak.

There's a document we have here, that mentions the "Magic Laboratory Vane" and that the leader of the lab is "Frena Ausa." It goes on to mention that she and her daughter Maris, both who could use advanced magic, ran the lab. The Laboratory was established by Vane to do research on Magic to gain absolute mastery and understanding of Magic, and then teach what it knew/learned. Originally Vane was on the Continent of Rick with the Lab under the ground/sea, but connected to it. We got super excited when we saw it.

Pressed for time, the designers scrapped the whole city and pretty much everything. They kept the Lab/Dungeon in with none of the content. It was just vomited it out in disorganized messed up chunks, as a dungeon out of fucking nowhere, to pad out game.

Beyond the early release documents my partner has which confirm it, the only hints that this was intended to be connected to/part of Vane is that a couple of the rooms in this dungeon kind of look like class rooms.

...yeah...
