Roland Wickhart

Roland Wickhart is a Breton destruction mage and a member of the Bruma Synod Conclave.

During Whispers of the Mountain, Cadius Venucius will ask you to interrogate Roland during your investigations in the appearance of mysterious objects in the Conclave. Roland also owes Razzada the Resplendent some money for a purchase, which the charlatan enchanter will task you with recovering.

After waking up at 7am, Roland has a quick breakfast before spending the next two hours practicing spells in the alchemy room of the Conclave. Between 10am and 2pm, he can be found attending to his duties around the ground floor, while from 2pm to midnight he will be found practicing his alchemy skills, with just a short, one-hour break for dinner at 6pm.

He wears Synod robes, a circlet of major destruction and a pair of leather boots. He also carries the key to the Conclave, the spell tome Fire Rune and up to three rare ingredients. As well as being armed with an iron dagger, Roland is also able to cast the spells Firebolt, Flame Cloak, Flames, Ice Storm and Wall of Flames.

Dialogue

Roland's awkwardness is immediately on display when he greets you:

"I'm Roland Wickhart. Err, hello."

If you ask what he does at the Conclave, he will explain:

"Me? I'm the resident Destruction expert here. Well, if you want to call me an expert. I wouldn't. I'm still learning. Honing my craft, as they say. My ultimate goal is to perfect the art of defensive spellcasting. I want to be able to conjure the raw power of the combative forces of nature and beyond, at will! But that'll have to come later. Hopefully sooner-later, rather than later-later."

If you ask Roland to teach you some spells, he will demur:

"Destruction spells? Uh, no, not really. If you really want to learn, you'd have to join up with us before I can show you what I know. Nobody here is even allowed to teach you the advanced stuff, though, Synod or not. Goes against regulations. Not that I've really reached the advanced stage yet myself, anyway."

If you then ask whether you can join the Synod, he says:

"Sure, just go ask Cadius. He's the one who started me off on my road to the Synod."

Ask about the Synod's rival organisation, the College of Whispers, and he initially stammers:

"I... think the same as everyone else around here about them."

Pressing him further won't net you much:

"That they're another magical organization that the Synod have no standing relationship with."

Conversations

While in the Conclave, you may overhear Roland and Elintius Rentilia conversing:

Roland: "Elintius, you got a free minute?"
Elintius: "Always for a fellow mage, Roland."
Roland: "Well, I was curious about the Journeyman level Electrocution spell you showed me the other day. For instance, let's say I tried to cast it myself and it didn't cast quite the way yours did..."
Elintius: "You shocked yourself, didn't you Roland? I wondered why it smelt of burnt hair in the conclave!"
Roland: "Well... yes."
Elintius: "Don't you worry, we'll find a good, secluded, area of the Jeralls later to practice in, my friend. We'll make sure you stop singeing your... features."
