Elemental Workshop II

Go to the Exam Centre south of the Digsite and search the bookcase attached to both the wall and another bookcase, two tiles down from the chests in the south-eastern corner, for a beaten book with a scroll in it.

Read the book and then the scroll.

Reading the scroll is what gives you the search option on the machinery later. Skip it and the workshop appears to have no way forward.

If the bookcase gives a message about other students taking the books, search the other bookcases instead — that is a known bug rather than a wrong location.

If you do not still have the battered key, search the north-east bookcase in the building south-west of Seers' Village bank for a slashed book and a battered key.

Let yourself into the workshop the same way as in Elemental Workshop I.

In the northern water elemental room, search the machinery on the south-west side for the key to the hatch in the main room.

Use the key on the locked hatch in the middle of the room and go down.

• Hammer

Take both the crane and lever schematics from the schematic crate beside the old lever to the south.

Go back up and use one bar on the workbench to make the crane claw.

Set the quantity to one. The smithing menu defaults to Make All, which will consume every bar you have — and do not make a helmet yet.

Downstairs, pull the south-western lever beside the old crane, then use the claw on the crane.

Go down another level to the two doors marked with the mind and body symbols, and enter the mind room.

Place your bar on the extractor gun and operate the extractor hat next to it. The bar becomes a primed mind bar and is collected upstairs at the old crane.

Each bar you prime costs you 20 Magic levels temporarily. Prime a second one now if you want the mind shield as well as the helmet.

The drain stacks. Two bars means 40 Magic levels gone at once, so do this before anything that needs Magic.
