Dialogue

Mysterious Energy protecting the Bastion of Balance Key

Mysterious energy hovers in the air above a symbol affixed to the wall, crackling with powerful magic. You hear a faint, resonant hum from a room on the other side of the wall it's attached to.

Maybe whatever powers this spell is nearby. I'll keep that in mind.

Leave the mysterious energy alone.

Mysterious Energy protecting the Bastion of Knowledge Key

A shimmer of mysterious energy hovers over an empty slot in this bookcase. The books on either side of the empty space are titled "Eternal Verities (Unabridged)" and "Excellent Spells for Novices."

Interesting. Perhaps later I can find the book that belongs here.

Leave the shimmering energy alone.

(During Restore the Wizard's Tower step)

(When holding Everyone Loves Wizards) Slide the book into the empty slot.

I think I need to find the book that belongs in this slot.

Mysterious Energy protecting the Bastion of Strength Key

Mysterious energy ripples over a symbol affixed to the base of this statue. An inscription on the statue reads:

"Only those with the strongest of wills are rewarded with the key to their destiny."

Examining the inscription in more detail, you see the words "strongest of wills" highlighted with a slight glow of energy. Something turns your stomach if you focus too long on them.

Look closer at the inscription.

Touch the glowing words. (Gives you the Begin Trial of Strength skill)

Leave the statue alone.

Leave the energy alone and gather your strength.

Mysterious Energy protecting the Bastion of the Obscure Key

Mysterious energy pulses with powerful magic unlike any you've seen before. Some sort of symbol is affixed to the wall, with what looks to be text along the border of a seal: a riddle.

I don't have time for riddles, but I'll note this for later.

(During Restore the Wizard's Tower step)

Read the riddle.

The text on the symbol reads: "When you have me, you want to share me, but when you share me, you no longer have me. What am I?"

Knowledge.

Nothing seems to happen. The mysterious energy remains in place, safeguarding the key affixed to the wall.

Hmm. Let me try again.

I'll try another time.

A choya.

Hmm. Let me try again.

I'll try another time.

A secret. (removes the Mysterious Energy allowing access to the key)

The truth.

Hmm. Let me try again.

I'll try another time.

Leave the mysterious energy alone for now.

Mysterious Energy protecting the Bastion of the Natural Key

Flames envelop this tree, and within them appears to be a mysterious energy powered by magic unlike any you've seen. The blistering heat prevents you from getting a closer look.

I need to find a way to douse those flames.

Mysterious Energy protecting the Bastion of the Celestial Key

Mysterious energy crackles over a symbol affixed to the tower. A constellation of glowing orbs hovers within the energy.

The orbs look like the constellation on the globe. Hmm.
