Walkthrough Book 1

The main story of Love of Magic takes place at its own pace, and there is no way for the player to skip or miss parts of it. Therefore the Book 1 walkthrough focuses primarily on side-content that **is** missable. The events listed are in the order they can be accessed, and will list the requirements needed to unlock/trigger them.

# Book 1

```
Act I: Love of Magic
Act II: Only Human
Act III: Friends & Family
Act IV: The King in Exile
Act V: What was promised
Act VI: Treason's Reward

```

## Gaining access to the Paths

Prerequisites: day 3

After the inauguration, visit Katie at the gym who will tell you more about gems. Afterwards, go to your room in The Crowley to unlock the "Organize Gems" screen.

Next speak to Chloe about buying or trading gems, which unlocks the portal in the Basement. During this conversation you can even wheedle a free gem out of her (requires Charisma 6). Go to the basement to take a look at the portal.

Following your first Evoker lecture on day 5, visit the University in the morning(day 6 at the earliest) where you run into Dylan and discuss traveling the Paths. This sets a chain of events into motion ending with you, Katie and Dylan making your first trip into Elsewhere.

After this the ability to visit Elsewhere in the morning unlocks permanently on day 13.

## Katie's Strip MMA

Prerequisites: day 3

Katie originally floats the idea of a strip MMA battle at the matriculation ceremony.You can challenge her by going to the gym in the morning or the evening. In order to defeat her you will require 10+ in Strength, Intelligence and Charisma.

The fight takes place over 3 rounds, and you will be offered 3 approaches, each with their own skillcheck. To emerge victorious choose each of the approaches once. After you defeat her, she'll offer to continue the fight on the ground, accepting will lead to a scene, refusing ends the event.

If you lose the fight, head back to Chloe at the Crowley, and purchase a bottle of whisky for Katie to get a rematch; there's a CHR check that allows you to get a staff discount.

## Katie's Perfect Gem

Prerequisites: day 20

After the Library opens up on University (day 12, at the Evoker lecture), you'll find the Quartermaster there. He's able to sell you gems, but if you say that you need a special Fire Gem for a special girl, he'll offer to sell you a True Flawless Fire gem after day 20. You can't use it yourself, but you can give it to Katie at the Gym ***in the evening*** (even if she is not visible) to unlock an ability as well as a scene. The gem will cost you 500 pounds, though. (The option is visible after you ask him "Can you get me some fire gems?")

## Olivia's CM Lesson

Prerequisites: day 14, purchased at least 1 gem from the Quartermaster

When speaking to the Quartermaster, he'll inform you there's a private library with a cute assistant upstairs where you can study in quiet. The assistant (Olivia) has got a couple of discussions about magic, and how she's being stopped from finding the truth. The final conversation is about her discovery of a book on Ceremonial Magic.

Next morning when you go to the University, Katie will find you and mention that she helped someone get into the Ceremonial Magic chamber.

## Perfect Black Rose, part I

Prerequisites: day 3, 10 Charisma

One of the books available from the bookseller Diana is "The Exquisite Art of Domination". If you purchase it and then read from it twice at Starcucks you'll notice the barista Jenny seems quite interested, leading to a conversation where Jenny mentions dreaming of being dominated by a tall dark handsome stranger, who leaves commands accompanied by a perfect black rose.

After gaining access to Elsewhere the player will be able to find a Black Rose at treasure sites (note: In the final release, you must read the book twice *before* you can find a Black Rose.) After obtaining one, return to Starcucks to read from the book once again and consider how to proceed. Go back to the bookshop to purchase pen and paper, then use the computer in the bedroom to order the requisite toy, which Chloe will hand over the next day.

Return to Starcucks, order coffee, set the plan in motion and on the next visit behold the results.

While this sidequest requires quite an investment in both time and money, it does come with some perks aside from the obvious one. Not only will Jenny now serve coffee for free, but she'll also be willing to keep the coffeeshop open at night so the player can use that time to read books.

## Perfect Black Rose, part II

Prerequisites: Black Rose I

Once you've cleared Black Rose I, Jenny will start serving your coffee for free. She'll also stay open at night, if you ask her. Bring a second Black Rose to her at night to trigger Black Rose II

## Perfect Black Rose, part III

Prerequisites: Black Rose II, Olivia's CM Lesson, day 70

Visit Olivia in the private library following her encounter with the denizens of Elsewhere, then go to Starcucks at night with a Black Rose. If she tells you all about the event in DGN1, you need to come back another time for this quest to trigger.

## Meeting Bella

Prerequisites: Day 20+ (but not possible until Day 21)

Bella is the only companion who requires a small quest to be added to the party.

1. On Day 21 or later, visit the Grassmarket at **night** to meet Katie who introduces Bella to you.
2. A couple of days later (Day 23 if you met on day 21) You will receive (and **must** click/read) an email from Bella telling you she has settled in and inviting you back to the Grass Market.
3. Return to the Grassmarket in the **evening** on day 23 or later and talk to Bella.
4. Bella will be available in the future to join you as a companion on the paths.
5. Bella also invites you to join her and Katie in the gym at night for some fun and games (you will see Bella on the location chooser at the Gym)

## Catgirl Outfit

Prerequisites: day 44

A couple of days after purchasing the lingerie for Emily, you get the idea to purchase something nice for Chloe. Purchase it in the Browser, wait for next day to have it delivered, then have a shower at night.

## Nice Kitty

Prerequisites: day 65, Catgirl Outfit

Since buying nice things for Chloe is obviously the way to go, another purchase becomes available on day 65. Take a shower at night (at least 1 day after purchase) to see how she feels about it.

## Swimming with Emily

Prerequisites: day 47

After the outing to the beach, your computer will remind you that Emily's never had a swimsuit, and never learned to swim. Purchase the swimsuit to unlock a date with her next Wednesday morning. If you miss the next Wednesday you can complete this on another Wednesday when Emily is available.

## Snowdrop's Troubles

Prerequisites: Access to Elsewhere, Crowley upgrade level 1, 20 Charisma

Snowdrop shows up once you start upgrading the Crowley (by finding special ingredients in Elsewhere, and giving them to Chloe). You first encounter her at tier 1, in the Evening. Talk to her to advance the story(requires CHR 20), and upgrade the Bar to tier 3 (unlocking night-time sessions) to talk to her again. She'll show up next time you grab a a shower, and offer to help you out. Accept, and she'll tell you how she's being harassed in Elsewhere. Next time you're in Elsewhere, you'll find her lounging at the Shrine, and she'll lead you to the silly little creature bullying her. She'll give you a Rage7 gem as a reward.

Note that completing Snowdrop's fight ends the outing to Elsewhere, so if you want to get the most out of your morning save the shrine till you only have 1 action left.

## Hitting the books

Prerequisites: day 60

Visit the bookstore and speak to Diana to find Dylan receiving a book that should help him with his studies. Following that you'll be able to meet him at Starcucks to discuss its contents.

## Emily's Mentor

Prerequisites: Access to Elsewhere, day < 90, Swordsmanship 10+

Once you have obtained your new weapon and grown proficient with it, visit a shrine in Elsewhere with Emily in the party.

`Warning: Act IV ends day 75, and Emily leaves until after day 90, so you really only have about 14 days to find a Shrine and visit Matthew.`

## Sparring with Emily

Prerequisites: day 63

Once Emily is done causing a ruckus at court and returns on day 62, starting the following morning you can invite her to the Glade to practice the sword in a sparring match, with a kiss as your reward should you best her.

In order to stand a chance you require at least 25 in all main stats as well as 15 in swordmanship, although you gain 1 point in swordmanship each time you lose.

To complete the event and claim your reward you need to meet the requirements and the second time you take Emily sparring:

1. Feint a misstep.
2. Lunge forward

## Threads of Love

Prerequisities: Threads of Love

## Raging Wolf

Prerequisites: day 92

Maybe you should see how Bella is getting on now that she's hanging out at the gym with Katie? Go visit her in the morning.

## Slice of Life events

These are by their very nature random, but some completionists are curious what they all are. Note there are times when they're turned off (before you've met the character, while they're away for story reasons, and Molly has a come-to-god experience in Act II that turns off some of her Slice of Life events)

* Emily, Katie and Molly each have an event in the bookstore
* Emily has an event in the Grassmarket. Day 12+ evening (when not MIA)
* Molly, Torman, Olivia and the Quartermaster each have an event in the Crowley
* Molly and Emily have events in Starcucks
* There are also timed events in Starcucks with Dylan(day 31+) and Akane (Day 72-91, won't trigger at night)

## Elsewhere events

There are some rest events that trigger in Elsewhere around the fire, depending on who you brought along. Some are single-issue, others can recur.

* Emily in Elsewhere : a touch of tenderness
* Dylan + Katie in Elsewhere: (Day 50+) Talk to Katie to get +30 on fireballs (Firemastery1)
* Akane in Elsewhere: 2 events (Day 67-91) (One is a prophecy. The other her dreams of a boyfriend.)

* Meeting Aoife
* Keith and the team
* Aoife and Keith
* Matthew (day 90+)
