True Colors

Mission Briefing

You know, I am not sure you know how new Animus Arcana get made. You see, we all started off as Zygotes, extremely simple magic motes with no real distinctiveness of our own. Zygotes come from either a great work of magic, or when a spell suffers what is known as the Final Death. That means that they kind of 'reset' back into being a zygote after they are used to fuel a spell. Cee Baller noticed something the other day, a weird Zygote appeared that doesn't act like a normal Zygote. Can you do us a favor and track down this Zygote and get to the bottom of this?

  • Track down the mysterious Zygote

Thanks, we on the Arcane Council are curious if this Zygote is the result of the final death of a spell we knew or if he's a mutant spell, or perhaps a new breed of Zygote altogether. Hopefully you can come back with some answers.

You need to find this weird zygote.

Clue
The Mysterious Zygote

Turns out the Zygote has some spark of intellect after all. It seems that it used to be a Lightning Bolt spell that was very powerful, and part of the Arcane Council at one point. The Arcane Council will be anxious to hear this information.

Debriefing

Wow, an ex-Council member? A lightning bolt you say? Must have been Brizmax. He was a crazy powerful spell. No one ever thought he'd see the final death! I guess his Zygote would be as unique as that. He'll be up to an Intelligent spell in no time, I can guarentee that.
