Light Mender/Dialogue

The following is a transcript of the Light Mender's dialogue.

Pre-Battle
"LM: "Not one step further, bearer of Corruption! Turn back or your life is forfeit! The Light Mender will not tolerate your presence here!"

LM: "I am the Light Mender. I am not someone to be trifled with. I have seen centuries pass in my time as a lich, and I will not let you sully this place with the Corruption in your very blood."

LM: "Not if you value your life. Turn back now, or I shall blast your bone to ash and purify you with thunder and lightning! I am the Light Mender. I am not someone to be trifled with. I have seen centuries pass in my time as a lich, and I will not let you sully this place with the Corruption in your very blood."

LM: "Every human on this wretched world is a catalyst for the Corruption. So long as even one of your kind breathes, there can be no hope for preserving the world. The only way is to cleanse it with light and thunder!"

LM: "I would rather transform your species into something better, and will dedicate many more centuries to this plan. But if I have to choose between humanity and the existence of the world, I will choose the world. I don't expect you to understand. Leave. Now. You have nothing to fear from me if you depart, my plans will take centuriesmore to bring to fruition. But if you interfere with me, I will show you no mercy."

LM: "You would fight me? Human foolishness is proven yet again! Raise your fist against me and you will be scoured clean of Corruption where you stand!"

If the player is a member of the Holy Mission:

LM: "You're one of Elatt's minions? Don't make me laugh. I know the circumstances of his creation. To think his existence can be a balm against the Corruption is foolish in the extreme. He lacks the means and the heart to do what needs to be done. Every human on this wretched world is a catalyst for the Corruption. So long as even one of your kind breathes, there can be no hope for preserving the world. The only way is to cleanse it with light and thunder!""

Post-Battle
"LM: "Enough! I will fight no more! You are an exceptional warrior, human. My injuries will take weeks to repair. But know this, though you have delayed my work, you have not stopped me. I am an immortal lich. The phylactery that maintains my immortality is hidden safely from humankind. You can not slay me, no matter how hard you try! Go on, then. Leave with your precious little victory! When my injuries have been repaired, my work will resume once again!"

LM: "What? You'd... come back again and again just to keep me beaten down?! You monstrous, inhuman beast! Is your thirst for violence endless?"

LM: "An endless circle of violence? This benefits neither of us. I have a counter-proposal, human. I will cease my work until your life has ended. If that is not enough, I have material wealth I can provide to buy your peace. This spire is a vast collection tool for rare resources. Return every week, and I will share some of the minerals and rare ores it provides me, and I can prove to you that my work has ceased. In this way, no more violence is needed."

LM: "You can trust my word. A delay of a few decades means nothing to one who is immortal. I may not be pleased with this turn of events, but I have more to lose if I break my word to you. I am glad we could find a more efficient use of our time. Here, as a show of good faith, you may have your first peace payment. You may choose to take three of these rare materials with you. Then leave me be!""

Rewards
"* Ammolite LM: "Ammolite is a wise choice. It is difficult to find, even for me. My spire can collect one chunk of it for you, if you desire it."

LM: "Copal, such a curious material. I teased the secrets from this material long ago. The spire can generate two chunks of it for you."
 * Copal

LM: "Palladium is common enough for even humans to have mastered. This spire can easily generate four scraps of it for you."
 * Palladium Scrap

LM: "Blue Sand? Humankind tells so many strange stories about the origin of this material. Even I don't know the truth. The spire can collect two handfuls worth of this for you."
 * Blue Sand

LM: "Ah, Hackmanite. Very strong, very durable. I have yet to completely understand it. The spire can collect for you one of such gem.""
 * Hackmanite

Repeated Visits
"LM: "You are here for your next payment, human?"

LM: "You ask for the impossible. Even with all of the power in this spire, it would take centuries to create even a single one, and to collect one world be nearly as hard. No, you will have to be satisfied with what I offer."

LM: "I have returned to my old studies on mechanical creations. If I cannot continue with my intended plans, I can at least continue to perfect my means of opposing the Scourge."

LM: "They are designed to be broken. How else could I test their effectiveness in combat?""
