So I went to the Armory to buy myself a Meteor tome,

But then they tried to scam me! Bastards. I get that Meteor is relatively rare, but 3200 gold?
Guys, don't visit the local armory here. They're nowhere near reliable.

.. That's all!

Maybe we have some spare funds to help you out!
But... can you first explain what Meteor is?
I mean, it sounds like a fiery ball from out of space but can that truly be a tome? Oooh, I really have to know!

I guess that's a way to describe it. Basically you take some distance, summon a meteor and WHAM! They're dead.
It requires a great lot of practice, though. Wouldn't want a thing like that going out of control!

Woah... I have to learn this..!
Savings, here we go! Time to go to that armory!

I can imagine it would take great practice, and it explains the price, too. At least partially. I am often amazed by the awe-inspiring power of magic tomes.

.. I don't think I have enough savings for that tome...
but.. but my strategical genius will find a solution to this problem..!!

While I do not doubt your skills, I do want to advise you to be extremely careful when using such a powerful weapon.

Hey, wait! DON'T buy it at that armory. The whole point I was trying to make is that they're ripping off your money!

No, I'm not going to buy it. I'm sure we had a thief around here, don't we?
Best solution ever by the one and only Morgan!

Yeah, except they'll notice it being gone, and there aren't that many other people around to blame.

T-t-then we'll have him steal gold! That'll work, right!?

Perhaps it would be better to practice with similar, less powerful and less expensive tomes first. We could always purchase a meteor tome later when we come across one again. I believe Tormod knows what a reasonable price would be.

I like Frederick's idea. We won't be able to find Meteor in many places, but when we do, it'll save us a good amount of gold.

Until then I have a few tomes you could borrow, if you'd like.

You can't exactly start with Meteor, though. You have to be around my level first! Which means you need to master loads of other fire tomes. But don't worry, because I'm here to help you!

Which ones are you already familiar with, anyway?

Bolganone, huh? Sounds like you should be fine. Back when I used Meteor for the first time, I hadn't even touched Bolganone yet!

Hang on, not so fast! I need a demonstration of your skill first. Just saying you have mastered a tome does not reflect on your strengths and weaknesses, see what I mean?

I personally do like starting campfires.

Alright then -- take your distance and show me what you've got! You best try your hardest, 'cause it's gonna take a LOT to impress me!

*observes as the spell is casted*
.. Heh. Not bad at all. In fact, that was pretty good!
Well, you should be just fine practising Meteor. Now all we need to do is getting our hands on that tome somehow.
