Full Orphia transcript

Orphia Eldri 1: Hail, my good $playerrace. Yes, yes, yes I am the person you seek. You can study magic with me. As you may know, PlaneShift has six Ways of magic, all powered by the might of the great crystal above us, the Azure Sun, and channeled with the focus of glyphs. The Six Ways are the Crystal way, the Dark way, the Brown way, the Blue way, the Red way, and the Azure way. Are you ready to learn more?

Orphia Eldri 2: Good. I hope you are enjoying what you are learning. It will be very helpful to you when you enter the world of Yliakum, the land where PlaneShift is set. [Orphia gives you eight round golden coins.] These eight golden circles are worth two thousand tria, and that is a little more than the price for a common magical glyph. I would like you to take these coins and buy an Air glyph from me, just for practice. To buy something from me, right-click on me and choose the Buy/Sell icon. A Merchant panel will appear. Select the Air glyph, and then push the Exchange button to buy it! [Orphia smiles.] Let me know when you are ready to continue.

Orphia Eldri 3: Very well. Users of magic require special items, called glyphs, to cast their spells. The most common glyphs may be purchased through merchants, but others may be given in reward for dedicated service. Let's try getting one purified, shall we? You may view your spell book with the Spell Book button on your toolbar or by using the C button. Just make sure you are not typing in the communication window when pressing C. At present you will not see much of anything in there, but in time a successful student of magic will acquire many spells. [Orphia smiles gently and brushes her hand along her magic staff.] Click on the Research Magic button at the bottom of the Spell Book window. In a new window you will see the glyphs in your inventory in six groups. Let me know if you see the glyph you bought.

Orphia Eldri 4: Great! Now take the glyph and drag it over the left-most icon in the bottom left corner of the window. The icon is called Purify. Then the glyph will begin to purify! It may take a little bit of time. Check the Main tab on your Chat box to see when the glyph is purified. Tell me when you are ready to continue.

Orphia Eldri 5: Well done, the glyph is now purified, it means it can be used to research spells. You can try to access the spellbook and research a spell, but given your low knowledge you will probably not be able to find a spell for now. That's really all I can teach you for now, there is much more for you to learn but that will come in time as you grow in Yliakum. You may want to speak to Xargon, he is the last with a lesson for you. He can teach you all about role play and how important it is in the world of Yliakum.
