Dialogue

Accepting the quest

Cocobuki: Hm hm hm... The scepter well complements the avid desire for destructive power written upon your features.
Cocobuki: Now, we shall complete your initiation with a trial to test the limits of your aptitude for channeling thaumaturgy.
Cocobuki: Huge hornets, star marmots, and snapping shrews inhabit this land in abundance. Exercise your sorcerous might and slay three of each of these creatures before returning to my side.

Reporting back to Cocobuki

Cocobuki: Hm hm hm... You have the satisfied look of a mage who has utterly vanquished his/her foes. [Player], I formally welcome you into the brotherhood of thaumaturges.
Cocobuki: The purpose of this trial was to gauge your capacity for wielding thaumaturgy; an innate quality the limits of which are bound by the level of aetheric energy flowing through your physical being.
Cocobuki: Aether——the very stuff of life——exists within all living creatures to a greater or lesser extent. Remember this, for it is the most basic law of arcane manipulation.
Cocobuki: As your experience grows, so shall your reserves of thaumaturgical endurance. The wellspring of your magical might will also swell in response to moments of extreme terror and duress.
Cocobuki: When you find yourself seeking greater challenge, when next you crave the thrill of exquisite fear, that is when you shall know the time has come for you to visit me once more. Hm hm hm hm hm...
