;Critical Mass
At the start of the quest:
"You. My sister Gabrielle told me about you. She said danger doesn't faze you. Good. See that large staff sticking out of the ground? It's emitting magical energy at unprecedented levels. If we don't stop it, it'll explode."
:What's that giant shard? "Some sort of celestial object. A few of the locals call it the Mage's staff. They say it fell from above just before the constellations vanished. It's extremely volatile, and every magic-addicted sorcerer and atronach in the region is drawn to it."
::How do we stop it? "We need to find a way inside. To the core. But getting in will require an unprecedented amount of magical energy."
:::Any ideas? "When the staff hit, pieces broke off into elemental shards. Take these focusing crystals. Each one can absorb one type of elemental infusion from a shard. Bring one infusion of each type to me and I'll combine them to open a portal into the staff."
::::I will gather the elemental infusions from the shards. "Be warned, though. The spellfiends are drawn to the elemental shards. You will be unable to harvest an elemental infusion from a shard until the spellfiends are defeated."
:::::I understand. I will clear the shards of spellfiends. "After the fiends are dead, you will only have a brief window in which to harvest the elemental infusion. Oh, and each person can only carry one infusion. So you'll need to decide among your allies who will carry flame, ice, and storm."
::::::Sounds good. Can I ask you a few other questions? "Quickly. If the staff explodes, it has enough power to turn all of Craglorn into a crater. Collect all three elemental infusions and bring them to me. Then we can force our way into the staff and stop the explosion!"
:::::::I'm still not sure how this plan is supposed to work. "We are dealing with magic of a whole different order than any of us are used to. If this really is the Mage's Staff, then only infusions of energy from its own shards can break its wards. I only hope that we can find a way to contain it once inside."
:::::::Did you say you were Gabrielle Benele's sister? "I know. We aren't very much alike. But as much as it pains me to admit it, under that vapid exterior is a very capable mage. I was in Craglorn when this thing hit, so the Mages Guild sent me to investigate."
After sealing the core and leaving the Mage's Staff:
"You've done well. Craglorn is safe, for now. I will remain behind, in case this place becomes unstable again."
:Do you think that's a possibility? "I hope not, but we can never be too cautious. \n\nIn the meantime, I will take samples of the staff to the Mages Guild for study."
==Quotes==
*"You have the energy. Good. I've created magic foci to receive each element." – After collecting the energy from the crystals
*"Good work. I'll meet you inside." – After she opens the Mage's Staff
*"What is this place? It's like some other plane inside this object. But where are we? Oblivion? Aetherius? There's the core on the far side of these floating islands. We have to stop it from overloading. Now, how are we going to get over there?" – Upon entering the Mage's Staff
*"Interesting. It looks like it's possible to cross between the islands. This is such a strange place. You never know what's going to happen next." – After the first bridge between the islands appears
*"I came to Craglorn to get away from dire end of the world situations." – While progressing through the Mage's Staff
*"Let's hope we're not too late." – While progressing through the Mage's Staff
*"That's finished here." – While progressing through the Mage's Staff
*"Hmm, no path here. Let me see if I can do anything with these floating rocks.I read a story once about Arch-Mage Shalidor fashioning a bridge out of pieces of shattered glass. This requires … much less effort." – Upon reaching a dead end
*"Hm. It looks like I'll be able to contain the core once these crystals are disconnected. The core is releasing a lot of magicka. We need to be careful, especially when I disconnect the crystals. Magicka will pour out when I disconnect the crystal. You'll need to defend me, or we won't be able to finish." – After creating the bridge
*"Just one moment." – When making the second rock bridge
*"Now I just have to cast a barrier around the core. Wish me luck!" – After disconnecting all the crystals
*"Uhf. We did it. We sealed the core. Give me a minute to catch my breath. All right. All better. Let's get going." – After sealing the core
*"Thank you again. I should check in at the Mages Guild and give my report. We can determine how we want to handle the Staff from there." – After completing "Critical Mass"
