Aw, why'd you kill that first demon in the fire plane area? He just wanted to dance! As did the boss of that zone!

I made him dance.

Frost Storm is pretty much the greatest spell ever. It's also horribly broken because it makes everything in the surrounding area have a seizure. It does something like 1 damage every 0.2 seconds: a respectable amount of damage over the spell's full duration, but unlike the much-more-damaging Searing Rain the spell's damage effect includes action interruption. Playtesting is overrated.




It seems our spell to summon Pyros didn't actually consume any of the reagents, so now we have an extra Blackrock chest.




Now we climb up the path.




And then into a cave.




And then to the altar.




And then we install the Codex Lenses.

The Codex of Ultimate Wisdom:

How can one half of a thing be removed if it is separated from the other half that forms the whole? Good and evil can not exist without the other. If one is to be removed, it must join with the other.

: I'm not sure I like where this is going.

quote:

The Barrier of Life must be cast before Ascension. Place the 8 Sigils on the eight pillars in the Guardian's Chamber. Move to the circle in the center of the room, there you will be asked for the incantation. Speak the words, "Sanct Vas Grav In Mani An Corp" and the barrier will rise around the chamber. A gate shall then appear, summoning the other half that makes the whole into the room.

: Okay, I follow so far...

quote:

The most destructive of all magic must be used to remove the whole from Britannia. Armageddon must be cast...

: WHAT THE FUCK? This is bullshit!

quote:

...but only after the Barrier of Life is in place, lest all the world be destroyed. To perform this ritual, you must have the eight sigils at hand. Then you must use three pieces of the dimensional portal. When you are asked for the incantation, speak the words correctly. They are "Vas Kal An Mani In Corp Hur Tym".

: God damn it I hate this world so much.





: A little rough, but I'm all right.
: Good to hear it. Okay, let's head back to Britain so Lord British can send you to the ethereal void.
: How do you know these things? I never said anything about that.
