Obtained from
 * Vassar in Foible's Fair

Requirements
 * Profession: Mesmer
 * Prophecies Pre-Searing Character

Reward
 * 250 XP

Dialogue
 * "Elementalists may frighten lackwits with no greater concept of combat than striking someone with an oversized mallet, but any Mesmer worth his salt is a far greater threat than a robed buffoon who likes to play with fire.


 * It's true Mesmers are often discounted for their use of illusions, but the most masterful Mesmers eschew illusions for mental domination. A small army of skale are marching through the woods to the east. I will teach you a few skills that should help you dispatch them far better than the brute force an Elementalist would employ. Then you will know what it is like to wield real power."


 * Accept: "Leave it to me."
 * Reject: "Sorry. I've no need of your advice."

Reward Dialogue
 * "The skale have been eliminated, you say? Excellent. Our little mountain paradise will remain undisturbed, and you've demonstrated once again that even the most ignorant Mesmer is far superior to an army of Elementalists."

Walkthrough
Vassar gives you the following skills to help you remove an army of skale in the woods to the east:

Leave town and follow the road north until you see a clearing to the east. Enter that clearing and head eastward. You will eventually find the skale near a river. The only skale that has to be killed is the River Skale Brood. Be sure to use Backfire against it (Backfire hurts casters whenever they cast a spell). If you don't use that skill, you will probably die from its Ice Spears. Once it is dead, go back to Foible's Fair and speak with Vassar to receive your reward.
