Ghost of Ulcaster

Ulcaster is the ghost of the former principal of the Ulcaster School of Magic. He haunts the site of the ruined school throughout the day and night and is usually found near the entrance to Ulcaster Dungeon. (3060.670)
Speak to him repeatedly to receive the quest Tomes of Magic. If you talk to Ulcaster while carrying the Ancient Armor from the Firewine Ruins and the Idol of Kozah from the Archaeological Site south of the Lighthouse area, he will swap them for the cursed sword The Vampire's Revenge.

==Dialogue==
Speaking with Ulcaster will eventually get you the Tomes of Magic quest, but he's in no hurry to reveal it.
*...the best of schools......
*...a storehouse of arcane knowledge......
*...lost, all lost... a common dungeon now...
And, finally, the quest:
*...all for knowledge did we strive... nothing left... Hope would return with the retrieval of the simplest of tomes... beneath the rubble... on the lowest floors... return hope... history is so important...
'Once you have the quest, he will repeat the following phrase until you bring him the book that he wants:
*...we all shall live again... someday...
When you bring him the book to complete the quest:
*...knowledge returns with these simple words on parchment... to teach once more... in a celestial class... I will prevent the same from happening... some day...
==Gameplay==
*Ulcaster is immune to most attacks, but has neither immunity to the Poison effect nor resistance to Poison damage, so the Dagger of Venom can kill him. The party might suffer a reputation loss for killing an innocent.
*A series of Contagion spells will also end up killing him by having one of his Ability Scores fall below 1. Doing it this way is faster and avoids reputation loss, but the Contagion spell is accessible late enough (Chapter 5) that the Robe of Neutral Archmagi dropped may no longer be attractive to the party. 
==Bugs==
 In the Enhanced Edition, if Gorion's Ward gives Ulcaster the Ancient Armor, Ulcaster will enter the dungeon and vanish permanently, thus preventing Gorion's Ward from giving him any other items, including the book.
