A Mage's Knowledge (Horde)

Recover Herbert Gloomburst's book at the bottom of the nearby lake.

• Herbert's book recovered from the lake

You've got some good spells for a novice mage. There are a few things holding you back, though.

For instance, it's absolutely clear to me you don't know Polymorph.

If you did, you would've been using it on the harpies that were attacking us!

Let's fix that. My spellbook has details on how to cast it... but my captors threw it into the nearby lake. Grab it for me, would you? Oh, and don't look through the book beforehand.

You will almost certainly regret it if you do.

You will learn: Polymorph

You will receive:

• Money
• XP

Hopefully my book isn't too damaged from sitting at the bottom of the lake.

Perfect! The page for Polymorph is smudged, but a little guesswork never stopped me from figuring out a spell.

It'll be quick for me to show you how to cast this properly.
