[296] [042] Take a look, it's in a book...

Still loving my work schedule while trying to snag a few extra hours here and there. Maybe this will end up working out after all? Time will tell, etc., etc. Currently trying to motivate myself to work out while having Archie-related feelings and listening to a lot of Christmas music for some reason. Then tags and maybe laundry? It's so nice to have all these full days to myself without being totally burned out or having my family pulling me in four different directions.

The box contains a small leather-bound book entitled The Making and Casting of Dragonfire. You open the pages and begin to read. Fortunately it is written in your own language and so was probably not understood by the Orcs - otherwise this treasure would certainly not be as loosely guarded as it was.

The book is written in tiny handwriting by Farrigo Di Maggio. In it he tells the story of his life's work; the creation of the Dragonfire spell with which to fight evil Dragons. You read how, in his last years, Farrigo finally perfected his spell but by then was too old to make use of it. So he completed his book, locked it in a chest and hid it in the depths of Firetop Mountain, afraid that it might fall into the wrong hands. The last page reads:

And so, you who now hold
this book, you have my
life's work in your hands.
The power of destruction is
yours if you wish it, but do not
waste it. Unless you use the
spell for the purpose for which
it was intended, you shall be
consumed by evil itself and
die by the fire from your own
hands. Remember, only when
the Dragon breathes its fire
at you should you raise your
arms and say:
Ekil Erif
Ekam Erif
Erif Erif

'Di Maggio'
You say these words slowly and softly. Suddenly the pages seem to glow and as this glow disappears, so do the words on the pages of the book. You repeat the spell to yourself to memorize it and leave the room.

You eventually arrive at the end of the passage, at a three-way junction.

If we're about to be killed, I want to vote to use this spell. Because fuck being stabbed, I want to go out being consumed by evil via fire from my own hands.

Also, his entire life for 6 words that you can't even buff with beforehand? Kinda weak, Di Maggio.
