Requirements

To obtain this spell you need the following:

• 30 Charisma
• 35 Discipline
• Holy oil
• a feather from the Crossing cleric shop
• 13 altar candles and a way to light them
• holy water
• a decent amount of devotion
• two spell slots

Recommendations

You need to be able to hit the bony fylgja. In general, this requires at least a 24 mana cast of Harm Horde or 45 mana cast of Harm Evil with a minimum of 35 discipline. After reading the tome (step 3), you will be randomly ambushed by bony fylgja. If you can kill them outside the void, then you will be fine on the quest. If you can't kill them, find someone to teach you Targeted Magic and guard you while you work on the below. Here are some things you can do to improve your chances of hitting:

• Have a 270 minimum average of Holy Magic and Targeted Magic
• Pick up the Targeted Mastery magical feat
• Align to a god to get a Targeted Magic bonus
• Use Time of the Red Spiral to boost your Harm Evil or Harm Horde spells
• Get a Moon Mage prediction on Targeted Magic and/or Holy Magic
• Adjust your SPELLS STANCE 100 70 130

Other recommendations for the quest include:

• Using Major Physical Protection and Shield of Light with an evasion/shield stance give you the best chance to avoid being hit
• Cast Protection from Evil and Minor Physical Protection just in case you are hit
• Cast Persistence of Mana before entering the void to help with mana-intensive casting
• OM will discharge when going through the portal, so don't rely on it for POM, or other spells.

If at any time you lose the egg or phoenix, you'll have to restart the entire quest.  Go back to Karjon and ASK KARJON TO QUIT.  This comes with a steep price, however.  You won't be able to start the quest again for 3 RL months

1. Talk to Father Karjon in the church of Tiger Clan. He's hard to miss. ASK KARJON ABOUT MURRULA'S FLAMES and he'll give you a key.
2. Head down to the dark spirits (use Divine Radiance as a light source), and you'll find a room that has a pile of rotting timbers in it. Look for the pile that looks "oddly different". Push on the timbers until the trap door appears. UNLOCK it with the key, OPEN and GO TRAP DOOR.
3. OPEN TOME. READ TOME. TURN TOME to change pages and continue reading until the end. There is heavy RT here, but the area is safe.
4. Head to the death spirit area in the Forest of Night north of Leth Deriel. You may enter through Silverclaw Hub at any time of day. Begin to SAY FINDYLIS in every room of the death spirit area.
5. Findylis will take you to her tree and talk to you for a while then ask you to kill and raise a dryad.
6. Get your holy oil and your feather then head back to the blood dryad and nyad spot. Kill a dryad, cast soul bonding on it, DIP FEATHER IN HOLY OIL, MARK DRYAD WITH FEATHER and then raise it. If your devotion level is too low, you won't be able to complete this step. Wait for the newly risen dryad to leave the area before heading back to Findylis, or she will not recognize that you completed her task.
   • MAKE SURE YOU SOUL BOND THE DRYAD. If you don't it'll raise a corrupted dryad that will kill you.
7. Head back to the same spot and say Findylis again. Here, she will give you a speech, and then ask you to climb her tree and "Master the Echos."
8. Climb the tree and LISTEN. Various random musics will start to echo. Each time a type of music plays, it will be a favored type of an aspect of Faenella. Idon (heron), is all drums and percussions. Faenella (wren) is all harps and stringed instruments. Murrula (phoenix) is all flutes and woodwinds, and singing. TOUCH the figures who correspond to the music. After you touch the figures enough times correctly a long sequence will begin, and you will receive an egg.
   • You only need to listen once, even if prompted to listen again later.
   • Wait until an egg appears on the altar and pick it up.
9. Go down and talk to Findylis again. She will tell you to have the immortals cast their benevolent gaze down upon you, etc. Head to the Crossing Temple.
10. The rest of this sequence must be completed in a timed window, or your phoenix will turn back into an egg and you will have to restart at this point. Make sure you have six uninterrupted hours of time on hand.
11. Buy thirteen altar candles from a cleric shop or the cart-monk on the temple grounds. Head up to the Eyes of the Thirteen and put a lit candle in each of the candlestick next to each of the Thirteen's altars. Once they're all lit hurry down to the High altar and put your egg on it. If all the candles are still lit, the egg will "hatch" a statue of a phoenix.
12. Clean the phoenix with some holy water. It should read something about the starry road. This means, its off to the Zaulfung swamp again!
    • Apparently if you do not clean the phoenix at the altar it won't message, but you will be able to complete the quest so long as the phoenix is clean.
13. Go to the greater Zaulfung swamp and go to the area on Ranik's map marked "Beak" (lich 10860) (room name: [Zaulfung, Aldauth's Maw]) and climb it.
    • If your climbing skill is lacking, ask a Ranger to cast Athleticism upon you. 150 Athletics was enough to not need the buff.
14. Go all the way down, go all the way north, and climb the crevice. Go up, and climb the spire (rm93-genie)(lich 12060). When you get to the massive black basalt spire PUT PHOENIX IN SPIRE. After a short sequence, a portal will open. Get the phoenix from the spire and go through the portal.
    • Once you enter you will not be able to use any of your inventory. Cast Persistence of Mana before entering the void.
    • Don't drop your phoenix while in the Starry Road. If you do and it disappears, you will be stuck requiring GM intervention.
15. Now, you're back in the void. Thirteen total bony fylgja will spawn each holding a carving for a triptych; kill the bony fylgjas and get the carving that they drop. Affix the carving to the triptych of where that aspect of the god is missing (map with god grouping hints: https://imgur.com/a/nBfxYyZ). For example, if a shark drops, put it on the triptych with the albatross and dolphin, and so on. See the recommendations above for Targeted/Holy Magic and spell cast mana requirements. Suffice to say, if you have the minimum recommended requirements it will take hours to kill them all.
    • You will be naked while in the void, so it is necessary to constantly RETREAT when you are engaged. Shield/Evasion stance with Shield of Light, Protection from Evil, and Minor Physical Protection will help prevent being one-shot if you do get hit. The safest approach is to not let anything get to melee range. It is rumored to require 500 evasion to avoid getting hit without retreating. But make sure your stance is set up for evasion.
    • There are random stuns in this area that may drag you off to another room or knock you to the ground. BE CAREFUL!
    • RECOMMENDATION: If you have Harm Horde, try to group up multiple bony fylgja in one room and kill them together to save time.
16. Once you place all the triptychs, a nebulous rift will open randomly. Go into the nebulous rift.
    • The rift jumps around the area. If you are having trouble finding it stand in the center room and wait for it to come to you.
17. A long sequence will happen. Go to the lake, put the phoenix on the monolith, and study it. It will take a while, but keep going. Once you do that, another long sequence, you'll die, and be reborn. Congratulations, the spell is yours.
    • You will use one favor whenever Murrula's Flames triggers, including this first time.
