Dialogue

Upon unlocking the achievements

You feel a sense of exploration through Caladbolg.

Talking to Ridhais

Hello, <Character name>. I trust Caladbolg has been a powerful ally to you.

Is it possible to change Caladbolg's form again?

With a large amount of magic to temporarily augment its power, I believe so. However, doing so would destroy any runes or infusions you have imbued it with.

I'm prepared. Show me how much raw magic will be needed.

I'd better double-check Caladbolg, just to be safe.

I felt a resonance from Caladbolg when I traveled to Janthir. (completes Forms of the Thorn objective 2)

After your expedition, I too walked the lands of Janthir. I saw many amazing sights—perhaps Caladbolg can attune itself further in its places of natural power?

I'll see where Caladbolg leads me, then.

Of course.

Interacting with motes

Deep within the Grove, this small alcove is filled with soft light. It feels restful, as if waking from sleep.

Caladbolg seems to be resonating with the energy of this place.

Talking to Ridhais after completed the Reverie of a Thorn

Hello, <Character name>. I trust Caladbolg has been a powerful ally to you.

Is it possible to change Caladbolg's form again? (same as above)

I visited Janthir's places of power that Caladbolg was resonating with (completes Forms of the Thorn)

Caladbolg seems to have opened new power within itself—I believe new forms of the thorn sword are now possible. If you are prepared, we can trigger the change in it.

Let's see what Caladbolg has in store.

Let me double-check its runes and infusions first.

Of course.
