If you are looking for a “how to use” guide it’s not here, this is for obtaining it. I’m going to link this document which is pretty cool and has some explanations on how to use it. Made by Darkness2544 (Pizza Melt Ambassador).

There is quite a flurry of prerequisites for questing, most being reputation requirements. It is a good idea to max out these reputations beforehand. There is also a level requirement of being at least level 80 to obtain the class. While not explicitly stated for any quest, it is VERY recommended you get the Blinding Light of Destiny, specifically the Blinding Mace of Destiny weapon due to the fact you are required to farm Blinding Auras for the first book the Book of Magus. If you haven’t already check out our Blinding Light of Destiny guide.
Reputation requirements:
- Rank 10 Good
- Rank 10 Evil
- Rank 10 Spellcrafting
- Rank 10 Embersea
- Rank 10 Etherstorm

- These two items are dropped by various monsters all over lore, from Chaos Lords, Chaos Beasts, and other bosses, try heading to /escherion, /bloodtitan or /djinn. I recommend Farming Ultra Blood Titan with a party that has healers due to the damage over time he deals. It drops up to 4 Mystic Quills, Mystic Shards, and Mystic Parchments each respectively
