Dialogue

Accepting the quest

Archive: Excellent, it would seem you've managed to interface with the soul shard. There is one caveat: I believe it will only work within the confines of the island's ward. Nonetheless, as you accumulate more knowledge, you'll soon be able to draw on more potent techniques.
Archive: What's more, I don't think that's the only soul shard on the island. I'm positive you'll acquire others on your travels.
Archive: The more you possess, the greater the array of ancient techniques you will have at your fingertips.
Archive: Well, I shan't keep you from your excursions any longer, though you'd better speak to that imposing lass over there before you depart.

Optional Dialogue

Archive: There's precious little else I can tell you about the soul shards. I suggest you go and speak with Ofangeim.

Speak with Ofangeim (cutscene)

Ofangeim: These walls have seen better days, but they're solid enough. As long as we secure the entrances, the camp'll be safe while yer out roamin' the isle.

Ketenramm: Roamin's all well and good, but we'll need a firm plan of action if we're to make any headway.
Ketenramm: Before ye leave, let's consider our approach.
Ketenramm: Ofangeim's been inspectin' the structural integrity of these fortifications. Hopefully, she hasn't found anythin' untoward, or we'll be stuck shorin' up these defenses for a spell...

System: Phantom Jobs has been added to the Occult Record.

Optional Dialogue

Archive: There's precious little else I can tell you about the soul shards. I suggest you go and speak with Ofangeim.

Ofangeim: I reckon ye'd better try tinkerin' with that there crystal before ye leave.
Ofangeim: These walls have seen better days, but they're solid enough. As long as we secure the entrances, the camp'll be safe while yer out roamin' the isle.

Ketenramm: Roamin's all well and good, but we'll need a firm plan of action if we're to make any headway.
Ketenramm: Before ye leave, let's consider our approach.

Archive: In my prime I could wield all manner of deadly weapons and dread magicks. Fie on that irksome seal!
