[edit] Dialogue
[edit] Initial dialogue
- Magi Malaquire
- Long have I studied the mysteries of Tyria, and I have come to understand many things about the world. You will often encounter creatures that use skills that you would like to learn. I have created a means by which you may do so. I call it a Signet of Capture. Nothing is gained for free, however, and there are rules you must follow if you are to use the Signet. First, common foes do not possess the necessary Energy to charge the Signet. It will work only on those who possess exceptional power. You will recognize such foes by their colored auras. After you have defeated a worthy foe, simply stand near that foe and use the Signet of Capture. Any nearby foes who are sufficiently powerful will be affected by the Signet, which will then transform itself into the single skill of your choosing. There are some exceptionally powerful skills that may only be gained in this manner, so this Signet is a very valuable resource.
- Do you understand how to use the Signet of Capture?
- Accept: "I understand. It sounds amazing!"
- Decline: "I don't think I'm getting it."
When asked about quest: Go forth and seek an exceptional foe on whom to test the Signet of Capture. You will recognize such foes by their colored aura. And remember, the power of the signet is limited. You may not capture skills that you normally would not be able to use.
[edit] Reward dialogue
- Magi Malaquire
- So the signet worked? And you feel no ill effects? Not that I was expecting anything... Of course, there was a small chance that you might combust when the ring absorbed the...but this is a technical detail that I wouldn't want to bore you with. You seem no worse for your experience. Since you have been an excellent assistant, I will provide you with one last Signet of Capture free of charge.
