"This will only tickle a bit"

You will receive this quest automatically from Constantine Firespark after The First Steps. Be sure to complete Every Day Like the Last, Part I before doing this quest, or it will fail!

Meet Lashiri

As you enter the ruin, you'll see your quest marker points towards a lower area. As you go there, however, you'll hear a "trigger" noise and Lishari will save you from being exploded into pieces. Go down and you'll find a couple of mercenaries, and then Lishari will ask you to save the remaining stone fragments before they're burnt.

Save the fragments

Use the Fire Extinguisher spell Lishari gave to you to extinguish the flames around the marked areas, and be careful, if you take too long, stones will start burning up. In the middle of the way you'll run into Sevf, trapped by the flames. You can choose to extinguish the flames, in which case he'll just teleport away, or let him die, none of which alter the result or rewards of the quest.

After you're done, talk with Lishari (you may have problems with this part, check the Bugs section) and she'll perform the ritual on you, which doesn't go exactly as planned. The quest finishes and the elevator to the surface is unlocked for you.

Notes

• You can kill Sevf by yourself after extinguishing the flames engulfing him, but it still counts as saving him.

Bugs

• Due to the physics engine, Lishari may fail to spawn or may be stuck outside the map after you've extinguished all fragments. You can fix this by either leaving the ruin and sleeping for a few days to reset the AI or by using the console commands prid 32E20 to select Lishari and moveto player to move her to your position.

10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 37, 38, 40		Constantine said the a young mage called Lashiri can heal my Arcane Fever with a "special ritual" and by doing so help me to learn to control my magic without years of meditation. She currently leads an excavation site in the Northern Heartlands called Old Rashêngrad.
45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 85, 90		Old Rashêngrad was raided by unknown mercenaries - now Lishari and I have to save what can be saved. I need to save as many of the magical stone fragments from the fire as possible and I have to deal with the mercenaries, too. Lishari also wants me to bring her traitorous assistant Sevf to her if I see him.
90		We could save as much as possible from Old Rashêngrad and we managed to extinguish the fire. Lishari tried to use the taming ritual on me, but I reacted unusually strong to her magic. Nevertheless - my magic now should be tamed, which means I am not in a critical condition anymore. Lishari said that I should immediately return to Constantine.
