Maybe I'm just overlooking something obvious, but is there some way of knowing whether or not a piercing crystal is powerful enough to take down a barrier? I've wasted a few of these crystals trying to dispel blue barriers only to be told that the crystal isn't strong enough. On other occassions, they'll work just fine. Does the "tool use" skill come into play at all with these? Posts: 64 | Registered: Tuesday, April 12 2005 07:00 |

I think Piercing Crystals cast Dispel Barrier at a specific low level that cannot be altered. Because of this, you'll need to learn Dispel Barrier and have a reasonably powerful mage if you want to pass all the barriers. As far as I know, the only way to test barriers is to save and reload. —Alorael, who gave up on Piercing Crystals as soon as he had the spell.

Talk to Kelner in the Tower of the Magi. He'll teach you if you clear out the "evil presence" in the ruins. -------------------- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy, and taste good with ketchup. Posts: 256 | Registered: Monday, October 8 2001 07:00 |

I'll try it again tonight now that my party is stronger than it was during my last attempt. Posts: 64 | Registered: Tuesday, April 12 2005 07:00 |

The other place to learn it is in the ruins of Harston in the Giant Lands east of the Abyss. However, there is no person who teaches the spell as with Bolt of Fire, etc. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

Ruins of Harston... oh, that's what that was! I never noticed that before. *feels unobservant* [ Friday, January 27, 2006 07:41: Message edited by: Kelandon ] -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.
