| Tower of Magi |
The Tower of Magi is the magical centre of Avernum and is ruled by the Triad: Linda, who has a fixation about demons and has brought one to the tower, X, who is a recluse and conducts research in the strangest areas and Solberg, who wisely has decided to hide somewhere else. With such a weird and instable government, it is suprising that the daily work of the tower functions so well.

| Linda | Mage | She is a member of the Triad and has imprisoned the demon Adze-Haakai in the tower. |
It is always a good idea to talk to everybody. The following notes give hints on hidden rooms, traps and puzzles.
If you read the tomes in the room just west of the entrance you will learn about the Blesed Athame and see a note about Adze-Haakai. You need to have read this before Kelner will tell you about Solberg.
In the SW is a locked room with a desk and a bookcase which do not contain anything special. At the back of the room however is a passage blocked by a barrier. If you can get past it, there is a tome which will teach Haste L3.
The Blessed Athame is in a chest protected by four imps in a room behind a barrier in the restricted area to the east of the tower. To get into the restricted area either go through the garden in the north or through the twisting passage in the south and past the imprisoned demon.
South of his workshop Ambrin has a a storeroom which contains some goodies you could steal.
The first step on the way to killing the demon which Linda has imprisoned is to read the tomes in the NW. Then you can talk to Kelner who will tell you how to find the password to Solberg's tower. After getting the Crystal Key from Solberg you can attempt to kill Adze-Haakai, but it will be easier if you have the Demonslayer and know Repel Spirit L3.
The entrance to Adze-Haakai's prison is from the resticted area. You soon come into a maze full of demons where light fails. There are various obstacles: two hidden doors, a rune which drains all spell points (Energy Potions or Elixirs) and a lava pool to be crossed. Hopefully you have still got enough strength left to beat him, when you eventually reach the Haakai.
When you have defeated the demon, you can pick up the Onyx Septre. Linda is naturally not exactly pleased if you tell her that you have killed it, but X will now teach you Anatomy.
