Give the wisdom rune to the teacher instead of putting it in the circle with the rest of the ingredients? Whoa. That hadn't occurred to me. I'll put the rune back in my inventory and see if I can get a different dialogue with the teacher at that point. Thank you for the idea! I'd have not thought of it myself,and am clearly getting a tad desperate to move on. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
