Offer Text[]
The Artificer and the Alchemist might be formidable, but even their combined powers are nothing more than parlor tricks to one such as me. I can easily undo anything that they have done to your "Guardian." I will of course require something in return.
My only real enemy in this desert is boredom. I will make you a bargain: Perform three tasks for my amusement. If your struggles provide suitable entertainment, then, and only then, will I free your Guardian.
Your first task: Journey to the Sadwa Mesa, and recover my Lamp of Wonders from the Tu'tara!

I suppose you're wondering why I need the Lamp of Wonders. Perhaps you're thinking it has powers that will enable me to help you. Perhaps you're also thinking that, if it has powers like that, you don't need me ... you just need the lamp?
Allow me to put your mind at rest: The Lamp of Wonders has no powers. I simply want to make you retrieve it, to test your resolve to rescue the Guardian ... which I can't help but notice you haven't done yet.

Go to the Sadwa Mesa in the Salt Barrens and recover the Lamp of Wonders.
The story so far..
The djinni, Fazeer Shah, has agreed to help you free the Guardian of Mana ... but only if you perform a few tasks for his amusement first. Fazeer Shah doesn't seem to understand the gravity of the situation ... or just doesn't care ... but, if this is the only way to rescue the Guardian, there doesn't seem to be much choice.

Completion Text[]
So! You retrieved the Lamp of Wonders! Your pitiful struggles do provide some small entertainment after all.
You can throw that piece of junk away. It's just a lamp with a pretentious name. It doesn't actually do anything, although I suppose you could put some oil in it and use it to provide light ...
This second task should prove much more amusing.
