It would seem that Uviso got the slip and left you in the dark.

No matter! You can now get those Profane Pounds! Soren goes over to the controls and opens up the windows, while you walk over to the nice pile of Profane Pounds. Wait... These are different Profane Pounds. They seem to be filled with more anger than the regular ones. That skull looks particularly menacing. Perhaps they are LEVEL TWO PROFANE POUNDS?
Oh! You're amulet is acting up.

The amulet casts hologram projection of Past Menen.

: Menen! I see you found a Thaumian Amulet.

: What in the world...

: Hey, PM. Whats up?

: PM?

: "Past Menen" is too wordy. PM is much shorter and easier to say.

: Menen... is this you from the past?

: Well if he wasn't, I wouldn't be calling him "Past Menen" now would I?

: I didn't come here to get a silly nickname. Uviso took off, but he hasn't left the tower yet.

: I believe he went downstairs to get a new sunmask to protect that massive eye of his from the sun.

: As you can tell, it is very sensitive to light.

: You need to get this tower grounded. The more it moves, the more cracks the black hole makes.

: Squideey may be a godhead, but he can only go so fast...

: Squideey? Who's Squideey?

: The squid-genie-man downstairs. That isn't his real name, but it was the name he was given by both Mortals and Non-Mortals.

: None of the names of the godheads are their true names, except for Tingles. Hes always an exception. Even the Harbinger's name isn't his real name. Thats the name people gave him when he was first uncovered about 3000 years ago.

: But I'm rambling again... There is a small island not to far from our current location. Soren, I need you to land this tower there.

: Im not sure I know how to fly this thing.

: The tower uses a coordinate based navigation system. Just put in the coordinates and altitude of the island and the computer will do the rest.

: Wait. PM. Can I ask you something?

: Yes?

: During the fight, there aren't any damage notifiers or turns. Its just combat. Whats going on?

: Uviso isn't the mage he says he is. Hes capable of blocking some basic Psionic abilities, such as the Strife Savant skill

: Strife Savant is a basic and passive ability you posses. It modifies the thought process of nearby enemies to operate in a designated combat system and it shows you how much damage you do.

: This allows you to learn more from your combat experiences. It also gives you a slight advantage.

: Is it important?

: Without it you don't get Meta-Materials as a reward from combat. So yes. Its important.

: So how do I stop him from blocking this Strife Savant skill thing?

: Now that you are aware of it, your sub-conscious will automatically begin to break thought Uviso's block.

: Oh, and one more thing. You can't leave this tower unless Uviso leaves, or he's dead.
Well. stuff.
