Approaching the area before the event starts
Galrath the Undying: Hey! Give me a hand with some spell crafting.

Galrath the Undying: We're crafting spells for the battle ahead. If you've got time to stand here talking, you've got time to bind some elements!
Talk ready option.png Sure, I'll lend a hand.
Talk more option tango.png What do I do?
To craft spells for the Grimoire of the Arcane, pick a table, gather the elements, and bind them at the tuning crystal. Craft as many as you can. And try not to die.

Talk end option tango.png I don't have time right now.

Approaching the area
Galrath the Undying: We're working on spells to fight the Kryptis. Pitch in.
Event start
Galrath the Undying: Check the grimoire and gather the proper elements, then bind them with the tuning crystal.
Galrath the Undying: Pay attention to the details. You get one of these wrong, well... that's on you. Now get to it.
Astral Ward Battlemage, randomly (ambient dialogue)
Astral Ward Battlemage (1): Smell that? That's the sweet aroma of tomorrow's dead demons.
Astral Ward Battlemage (1): Does it really call for a five-to-one ratio? This stuff is so volatile...
Astral Ward Battlemage (1): This one backfires once every seven casts. Is that an acceptable risk?
Astral Ward Battlemage (2): Something's off here. Did I miss an element?
Astral Ward Battlemage (2): The Kryptis are going to hate that grimoire.
Astral Ward Battlemage (2): These elements are mixing together like oil and wyvern breath. Excellent.
Crafting a spell
Galrath the Undying: That one definitely smells finished.
Galrath the Undying: Acceptable.
Galrath the Undying: Guess you've done this before.
Galrath the Undying: Looks potent.
Galrath the Undying: Keem 'em coming.
Upon failing a spell
Galrath the Undying: Maybe you should stick to fighting.
Galrath the Undying: No. Definitely not. Scrap it and try again.
Galrath the Undying: What are you doing? Get it together.
Galrath the Undying: Do not waste those elements.
Galrath the Undying: That smells like it's been dead for weeks. Disgusting. Start over.
If the event isn't completed 5 minutes before The Defense of Amnytas starts
Galrath the Undying: Well. Much as I enjoy all this, I need to go. Duty calls.
