Purify water with flames and give them to the seed.

3+2 and Secret Roll You purify the water and pour it over the ground. The tree starts to grow immediately at this contribution, changing from a sprout to a full on sapling in a matter of moments. One of the small branches bares a small white crystal - perhaps this is an easy way to get offerings for the Shrines. Do you want to collect it now, or let it continue growing?

Nature Aspect 47/50. Flame Aspect: 43/100.
The Arcane Tree Seed that you planted is now an Arcane Tree Sapling. It bears 1 Small Wind Crystal.

Have Jeff continue to sit with me while I continue to study at the nature shrine.

"Aye that I do," jovially with a hearty laugh Patrick lead his daughter to a pew and seated himself next to her, smiling at his little one "She blessed me with yer life and I cannae thank er' enough." he added thoughtfully. Looking closely the jolly old mage nodded knowingly at some unspoken thought.

"Méróg-Bheag? What would ye like teh do?" he asked his daughter as he looked askance to an outside facing window to see the time of day "As teh sunsets we'll need to rest fer another day of adventure alright, my little pebble?" Patrick told his daughter gently.

Patrick goes and does what his daughter wants to do, until sunset.

4+1 She seems to think for a bit at that. "I suppose I'd like to pick up some nice stones. I remember doing that for you before, so it's a nice memory." She sets about doing this with your help. You gather up a good amount of large stones, and for spending time with your daughter, you feel like something more has awakened within...

Stone Aspect Rank Up! (1/100) You can now Manipulate Stone Magic. Obtain Stone x10.

Temperance, it is best to give it time to ripen like any fruit. A fully grown crystal would be a greater offering than a young one.

For now, I suppose seeing collecting wood and junk to burn to ash would be best. Preferable safely away from the forest.

Dump curse on nearist mage

4-1 You manage to transfer the curse onto the nearest student. Unfortunately for you, they appear to be a student of Flame, and aren't too happy with being cursed. They seem to have a white bird on their shoulder that gives off some kind of magic, and the aura of the curse soon dissipates.

"You've breached one of the rules of the Temple. As my right of the Goddess, I hereby challenge you to a duel."

Decay Aspect 45/100. Lost Curse.

5 Your daughter is inspired by the tales of the Goddess adventuring around with her four friends, and how they sacrificed themselves to give the Goddess her power so that she could defeat a Great Dragon.

The following morning at the crack of dawn, both Patrick and his daughter make their way to the altar of Stone. "Alrighty little pebble, we are goin' teh offer teh Goddess stone o' the earth one last time," he explained to Méróg-Bheag as he placed five stones at the base of the altar "Ye see, teh land is sick an' I want teh make sure no altar is desecrated cause o' teh foolish use of magic" stepping back the portly mage said looking around towards the other shrines.

Patrick offers x5 stones before the altar of Stone and bows his head in prayer.

"O' Goddess I offer ye these stones mine daughter an I gathered, may teh earth o' this shrine stay consecrated by yer love." finishing his prayer he looked down at his daughter with his usual smile.

"An I'll teach ye everything I know, in due time." Patrick laughed as he fished the rest of the stones from his overalls "Aye we'll practice at another altar, one teh to focus yer mind but first I must honor the Goddess's blessing by attempting a great feat in er' name" he tells Méróg-Bheag as he places each stone on the ground.

With the blessings he received and his newfound knowledge of Stone magic, Patrick manipulates the stones etching the symbols related to each category of magic. Once finished he raises his head to the sky and cries out "O' Goddess, I beseech ye' to let yer blessing flow into these runestones," he pushes each rock into the soil "As relics teh consecrate an' protect yer holiest of places, an this ere' temple." he spread his hands out flat releasing the blessings he received into the stones "Sink ye five stones an' let this land forever be protected by yer grace" he finished.

"I'm not sure if it's a friend or not."
Go over and try to talk to the skeleton and see if it'll let us pass into the ruin.
