(see above):::::::'''Is there a way off this island?''':::::::Well, you could swim, hehe... no, don't look hopeful, that was a joke! The sea's full of sharks and horrible beasts. An elven friend comes to visit me every year or so. You could get a ride back with her. Shouldn't be more than six or eight months wait.::::::::'''That's too long. Is there any other way?'''::::::::If you still had your magic training, you could [[Teleportation|teleport]], Elmetaph will I suppose...:::::::::'''Can you teach me how to teleport?''':::::::::You were a fast learner before, so I guess I could try to teach you again. But it took you weeks to master it, and that's after you'd been studying the player "The secrets basics of magic for quite a while. Hopefully some remnant of teleportation" if they have amethysts that training is still in their possessionyour head somewhere. The amethysts We can be found in several different placesgive it a shot and see...::::::::::'''Great! How do we begin?'''::::::::::Well, first you'll need an [[amethyst]] as a catalyst. And I'm fresh out of gems.:::::::::::'''Shit.''':::::::::::Don't you curse at me, but once young (man/woman)! There's still a player picks up amethystschance. Lots of students had their [[teleportation]] trials on this island, new spawns are no longer available and they all brought spare [[amethyst]]s, so there's bound to that playerbe some hidden around somewhere. ::::::::::::'''So farI should find an amethyst and come back?''' (Begins the quest [[Find an Amethyst]].)::::::::::::Yup. Come back with an [[amethyst]] and I'll teach you the basics of [[teleportation]]. Try searching around the old teleportation platforms for misplaced gem bags. If that doesn't work, amethysts have been found in bags near well, there could be [[amethyst]]s anywhere on the teleportation circlesisland, really.:::::::'''Can I read your books?''':::::::Well of course, just don't run off with them. They're very old and valuable... well, both they're not very valuable anymore. I retrieved them from the broken one on basement of the north shore university when I left. They weren't in good shape when I found them, and this sea air isn't doing them any favors. But still, they're more valuable than most of the functional one junk on the south shoreisland.}}

'''Elmetaph''' is an [[Elven|Elf]] living in the Lighthouse on [[Anagoge Island]]. When he was known as '''Proctor Elmetaph,''' he operated an academy designed to test the magical capabilities of potential recruits for the Council. It seems possible the goal of school was to gather and identify Prodigies. While the school itself has been destroyed, both Elmetaph and some of his tests remain.
