Elemental Workshop quest series

The Elemental Workshop quest series is a series of quests.

Elemental Workshop I
While searching the bookshelves in Seers' Village, the player finds a battered book, titled The Elemental Shield. By using a knife on the book, the player finds a battered key, slashing the book in the process. The player then finds an odd looking wall in the anvil building to the north and, using the key, opens it to find the Elemental Workshop. The player sets about getting the workshop back in order, by running the water, fixing the bellows, and pouring lava in the furnace. After attempting to mine some elemental ore, the player is attacked by an Earth Elemental. After defeating it, the player picks up the elemental ore. The player smelts it with four coal in the furnace to make an elemental bar, and then smiths it into an elemental shield, using the knowledge in the book.

Elemental Workshop II
The player finds a beaten book while searching the shelves of the Digsite Exam Centre library. Upon reading it, the player finds a note as a bookmark and discovers that there is another level to the workshop. The player goes back to the workshop and, following the directions on the note, finds a key in some machinery. The player then descends to the lower level of the workshop. After finding some schematics, the player creates a crane claw out of elemental metal and fixes the crane next to the lava pool. The player then fixes the press by connecting the pipes in the junction box. After searching the crates in the workshop, the player finds three cogs and a pipe section, which they use to fix the wind tunnel and water tank, respectively. The player starts the machine, dipping another elemental bar in lava, flattening it in the press, cooling it in the water tank, and cooling it further in the wind tunnel. The player receives a primed bar for their work. The player then descends deeper into the workshop, finding a door with the Mind symbol on it (another door, with the Body symbol, is locked). After placing the primed bar into an extractor gun, the player sits in the extractor chair. The machine comes to life, and a part of them is transferred to the bar, decreasing their Magic by 20 levels temporarily. The result is a primed mind bar. The player then smiths the bar into a mind helmet, using the new book. The player also discovers the ability to create mind shields and elemental helmets, provided they have the correct book in their inventory.

Trivia

 * There are two doors in the third level of the elemental workshop: mind and body. The mind door is already used but the body door is locked. This suggests a possible 'Elemental Workshop III' quest is underway. The third Elemental Workshop quest is also hinted at in the Chaos Elemental's suitcase in Postbag from the Hedge #41.
