Cast Stone Quest Guide

Spellbound is a side quest given by Trysha at Eini's Home, in the forest north of Melve. It starts when you talk to Trysha at the house while her grandparents are out of earshot.

Speak to Trysha once Eini leaves the room. Trysha hands you a list of the five grimoires she wants.
Take Let There Be Light from the upstairs desk in Myrddin's Home in Checkpoint Rest Town. Climb to the balcony from outside to reach it.
Buy Fulminous Shield from Dudley, the merchant near the entrance of Melve, for 5,000 G.
Find Nation's Death Knell inside the Ancient Battleground, northeast of Checkpoint Rest Town.
Open the chest in the upper part of Waterfall Cave, east of Borderwatch Outpost, for Howling Blizzard and a second Nation's Death Knell. Opening it summons a Lich.
Speak to Waldhar for Towering Earth. He moves to the vaults after The Caged Magistrate.
Return to Eini's Home and give Trysha all five original grimoires.
Come back after a few days. Trysha is outside, losing control of her magick.
Dodge her spells until she stops casting to recover, then rush in and grab her to end the outburst.
Pass the time, then return to Eini's Home. Trysha gives you Conjurer's Jottings and Eini gives you Enchanter's Almanac, completing the quest.
Use Conjurer's Jottings to learn the Sorcerer skill Meteoron, and Enchanter's Almanac to learn Celestial Paean.

Rewards: 2,000 XP, 3,000 G, Cast Stone, Conjurer's Jottings, Enchanter's Almanac

Outcomes:

Forged grimoires from Ibrahim in Checkpoint Rest Town: Trysha gives up on magick, and the Cast Stone and both skill books are lost.
Trysha left unsubdued during her outburst: she dies, and the item rewards are lost.

Smithing Upgrade Guide

Every weapon can be enhanced three times at an armoury or smithy, each time for gold and the materials listed below, and a fourth time with Wyrmfire. Any armoury or smithy works on weapons and armour alike. Each smith works in one style, and you can mix styles from one level to the next.

Vermundian raises every attribute moderately. Armouries and smithies in Vermund offer it, such as Roderick's Smithy and Bjorn's Armory in Vernworth.
Elven raises Magick and Magick Defense greatly, Strength and Defense only a little. Grisha's Armory in Sacred Arbor offers it.
Battahli raises Strength and Defense greatly, Magick and Magick Defense only a little. Armouries in Battahl offer it, such as Awaran's Arms and Bodas's Armory in Bakbattahl.
Dwarven raises Knockdown Power and Knockdown Resistance. Sara at Brokkr's Smithy offers it after Steeled Resolve, Blazing Forge, and Gautstafr after Put a Spring in Thy Step.
Wyrmfire halves the weight and gives a further boost once the first three enhancements are done. The Dragonforged at Bay Wayside Shrine takes payment in Wyrmslife Crystals instead of gold.

The tables below give the cost, materials and result of every level for each style.

Taking Cast Stone to level 3 costs 9,635 G in all, whichever style you choose. Elven smithing gives it the most Magick at level 3 (301), while Dwarven gives the most Knockdown Power (140). Wyrmfire then costs 15 Wyrmslife Crystals.
