Editing The Mage Academy (section)

== Walkthrough & Notes ==
=== Part 1: The Burial Temple ===
# He will ask you to go to the [[Burial Temple]] nearby at 8.5N, 6.0E and retrieve a black gem for him from the creature known as Kelannik.
# When inside the temple, take the east passage and jump down. Now head to the end of the corridor and through a false wall. At the intersection head straight on through a room with Skeletons and at the T junction take a right.
# In the next room go left and around to a lever, use it and then take the north passage continuing on through two rooms - take the first left down the ramp and open the door. You will come to another door that is now open, inside this room is [[Lord Kelannik]] and his two guards.
#* NOTE: Respawn in this room is ~5–10 minutes if doing this in a group (seems like a randomized time).
# Defeat Kelannik and loot the {{Itemlink|Black Gem}} and {{Itemlink|Cursed Key}}. Take the exit portal just outside the room and run back to Tazal al-Ashfai.
# Hand Tazal the Black Gem for experience and he will attempt to summon the portal Kelannik uses...

=== Part 2: The Mage Academy ===
==== Part 2a: Levers 1 - 4 (Stone Key/Old Key) ====
# From the drop room make a mental note of the lever to your right for later and head down the ramp hugging the left wall. You need to take the third turn off to the east on level 6 (see map).
# You should come to a room with an [[Empyrean Statue]] and Masonry Golem behind a lever activated door.
# Leave this area and turn right heading southwest and then turn left at the T into a room with Zefirs. Kill the [[Xekrit Zefir Guardian]] for the {{Itemlink|Stone Key}}.
# Now head west down the hall to the room opposite with 3 levers. Hit the wall levers only (center lever #3 releases the Masonry Golem) and run back (left wall hug) to the ramp and up to the portal drop room to pull that lever you saw earlier.
# Now head down again, but this time take the second turn off to the west (level 4) and through the floor plate activated door. Take a right and then left into the corridor and joining room.
# Kill the [[Banderling Smasher]]s here and loot the corpses until you find the {{Itemlink|Old Key}}. Only 1 of the 3 drops the key.

==== Part 2b: Lever 5 and the Sewers ====
# Now you have the old key, run back to the ramp and head down and and unlock the wooden door for lever 4 (lvl 8 on the map).
#* Note| There are locked metal doors on either end of the corridor opposite this lever. The next lever (5) opens the large metal sewer doors in the room beyond.
# Pull the lever and run back up the ramp to the third turn off with the Banderling Smasher. Turn right and then left and unlock the door (750 diff.) using the old key.
# Inside the next room is a gate that requires lockpicking and the door you just opened beyond that with the lever to door 5.
# Pull the lever and run back down the ramp to the metal doors on the bottom floor. Unlock one of the them and head into the sewer area.
# Head east at the junction around to a locked metal door on your left. Use the [[Cursed Key]] to open it.
# Go up the ramp and stick to the path ignoring all the smaller side rooms. You will cross bridges that pass through a number of areas, hop from the final ledge into the east passage and then jump down into a room with a surface portal and [[Zombie Mage]]. 
# Here you find the library where [[Rytheran's Apprentice]] awaits. Defeat him and take {{Itemlink|Rytheran's Key}} and {{Itemlink|Sheets of Paper}} for translation. Now you have Rytheran's Key you need to make your way to Lady Jaera's Tomb.
# Use the surface portal and reenter the academy, go back to the room with the statue and the golem behind a lever door (third room down). Go south east and hug the left wall until you reach a room with pillars and a [[Black Coral Golem]] guarding a door.
# Kill the Golem and use the [[Stone Key]] on the door. There are lightning traps in this room, dispatch the two Golems here.
# Use [[Rytheran's Key]] on [[Lady Jaera's Tomb]] and loot {{Itemlink|Lady Jaera's Wand}}.
#* Note: The tomb will cast [[Gossamer Flesh]] on you when opened.
# Bring the wand to [[Tazal al-Ashfai]] for the rest of the rewards.

=== Short Version ===
# Skip part 1 with the [[Burial Temple]] for the 99 million xp and make your way straight to the [[Mage Academy]].
#* Route: From the [[Town Network]] head to [[Neydisa Castle]] (south hall) and then run to 74.7N, 18.5E.
# Jump up where it says ''"You may jump on monsters then on bridge from here"'' on the map to bypass the lever pulling and the majority of the quest.
# Jump across south and then down past the portal, kill [[Rytheran's Apprentice]] and loot Rytheran's key.
# Kill the [[Xekrit Zefir Guardian]] for the [[Stone Key]] if you don't have lockpick (door is diff. 500), and unlock the door to the tomb room.
# Use [[Rytheran's Key]] on [[Lady Jaera's Tomb]] and loot [[Lady Jaera's Wand]].
# Bring the wand to [[Tazal al-Ashfai]] for your rewards.
