Quest Overview

Before you start redistributing skills and/or attributes, be sure to purchase a few Herbs from your local archmage, you must have some to enter either of the two Temples.
- Tip: Pick one type of herb and buy a few of them. Its best to buy a few, in case you accidentally hand the wrong component at the wrong time.

Word	Component	Word	Component	Word	Component
Boquar	Mugwort	Cruath	Ginseng	Equin	Mandrake
Feazh	Damiana	Helkas	Wormwood	Jevak	Myrrh
Kenrak	Amaranth	Malar	Hyssop	Ozhur	Frankincense
Puish	Saffron	Quavosh	Dragonsblood	Roiga	Yarrow
Shurov	Comfrey	Tugak	Vervain	Uthoi	Henbane
Volae	Eyebright	Yanoi	Bistort	Zojak	Hawthorn

Though the Token of Modification for untraining, specializing and redistributing attributes share the same name, they do not share timers. This means you can actually get 4 untraining gems, and still get 4 specializing gems if you have never done this before.
Tinkering skills can only specialised using Augmentations.

However, it seems that the work I did previously allows me some level of control over them. It is quite facinating, in fact. If this works right, this statue will give you the same token as the other servants have begun to hand out. You'll need to give the token to the new wardens to receive their gem."
