Need Advice With A Mages Quest Please ( Translation)

[monze]

The Translation quest is set in a cave where you have to open a column. There are four clues. So far I have tried Hot.. (Fireball) Cold ( Freezing Touch ) Combined they open the Column part way. I think that the other two clues relate to Magica and anti Magica. I've tried every spell I can find without success.

 

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

I can't find any reference of a similar topic in these forum pages.

 

Thank you

You have to hit the piller with this sequence:

Fire

Frost

Damage Magicka

Fortify Magicka

 

I didn't have a fortify magicka spell so I left Vahtacen and searched Mages Guilds until I found someone who sold it. After solving the puzzle, I looked in the chest near the mage who keeps telling you to "Be careful down here." There are all the scrolls you need to open the pillar in that chest! LOL

Dammit.... I must have a bug... I did use those spells ( As I searched in desperation ) and it didn't open. I'll reload and try again. At least I know exactly what the spells are and where to start. Thanks Heaps.

I needed help on this too. The damage magic spell is on touch so you have to be right by the pillar. As a non magic character I wasn't quite up to the subtlety. Have to thank Theta for that.

You do know that if you cant the wrong spell on the pillar and it is going to shock you, just move back into the small hallway with the guy. The four stones in the corners by the words will shock you if you dont do it right. So cast your touch spell and back up into the hall real quick. Never gets you unless you arent in far enough.
