Detailed Walkthrough
Unstable Sorcery
The Guildmagister says:

:''"Doubtless, you have heard of the crazed wizard (wizard's name). Given the enormous power (he/she) has at (his/her) command, (ruler's title) (ruler's name) has been delaying any offensive move against (wizard's name), but that strategy is at an end. The (region ruler's title) has asked us to send someone to destroy the psychopathic mage. In return for a magic (magical item), would you do that for us?"

or

:"The people of (region) have been demanding that the Mages Guild take a stand against the mad wizard who has been terrorizing the land for some time now. Now, by order of the Archmagister himself, we are doing just that. I know it's hardly the assignment a scholarly institution should give, but would you be willing and able to pay the mad wizard a call and then hack him into pieces?"

Accept
The Guildmagister goes on:

:"Excellent. I knew that you would not let us down, (player's first name). Now then, (wizard's name) will be in (his/her) laboratory, (dungeon), for at most (time limit) days before moving on to a new location. The (ruler's title) wants word that the mage is dead in (time limit) days, so do not tarry after doing the deed. I will see you in (time limit) days. Thank you and good luck, (player's first name)."

Decline
The Guildmagister answers:

:"Damn. I had hoped that we could count on you in this affair."''

Slaying the Mad Wizard
This quest is a standard dungeon crawl. Travel to the Mad Wizard's dungeon, enter it, and locate the target. The wizard appears as a mage and will likely toss some powerful spells at you, so prepare accordingly. When the Mad Wizard dies, the following message pops up:

:''You have slain (wizard's name), the Mad Wizard of (dungeon).

Reward
After the wizard has been killed, return to the Mages Guild and report your success. The Guildmagister says:

:''"Once again, you astonish me with your skill and efficiency, (player's first name). An excellent job -- the (ruler's title) will be as pleased as I am. Here is the (magical item) I promised. Enjoy it."
