I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm missing to get this spell. I'm quite sure I'm doing the quest correctly, yet when I make my offering after learning the prayer I can't get past the step of studying the magma, I get this message:

You think you see some meaning within the flow of lava, but it is too abstract and convoluted for you.

Am I missing some requirements? I have Fist of Faenella, am 52nd circle, 377 Holy Magic, 313 Arcana, 199 Theurgy, and 9 open spell slots. I was always under the impression that the requirements were only like ~250 PM.

And I'm not sure if this affects anything, but you might try buffing it a +PM spell (if they still exist) or a strong MM prediction.

Hmm, I guess it could be TM. I have 192 ranks TM. As previous mentioned I have 377 ranks PM. That seems a little out of whack for a 40th circle spell.

Really, we need to sit down and assess what we're doing with circle reqs, because many of them are relics from ye olde days. But that's not a project on anyone's table at the second.

>FWIW, with nearly 300 TM my Cleric can't stuff much additional mana in FoU.

My last cleric had 250-300 pm/tm, and could cast the spell, maybe, on good days. He could get off 1 shot and then basically had to fully recover. He was 50th, and well exceeded the magic reqs per circle.
