"Aye, I can teach you further in the ways of magic," the grumpy mage says to you, looking uncharacteristically serious for one clothed in rags. "But be warned, this is not for the faint of heart. It is difficult to unlearn what one has already learned, so you must be serious before you ask." Staring at you appraisingly, he continues, "I can teach you to appear thus when preparing your spell patterns:"

Glancing at you, the mage sighs. "I heard you," he says. "I could tell you a lot about Warrior Mages once, but it's been years since I've been able to train for my guildleader. I'm afraid I've forgotten most of it." The mage runs his filthy fingers through his hair miserably, leaning against a building as he continues to speak.

"All that I've left that I remember now are the ways of manipulating spell preparation that I devised on my own, an apprentice under Gauthus' tutelage. You can ask me about those, I suppose, but not all of them are easy to use," he states, his eyes lighting up as he gazes at you, reminding you of the mage he must have been.

The mage's fingers twitch slightly as he says, "Oooph. You would ask me that, and it's been so long ... " He stops, shaking his head and closing his eyes. "Long ago I taught many of them to others, but now I only remember a few. Watch, and learn," he suddenly adds in a strident voice.
