Iron and Flame

Iron and Flame is a side quest in.

Synopsis
Masca, an acolyte at the Temple of Abydon in Stalwart Village, wants the Watcher to complete a ritual that will bless her forge hammer and boost her abilities as a smith. Her current skill level is quite poor, and she's afraid she'll be kicked out of the temple if she doesn't show improvement soon. She asked for help with the ritual since she's unable to leave Stalwart.

Walkthrough
Once you start the main quest line of, the Temple of Ondra in Stalwart Village is converted into a Temple of Abydon.

Inside, you'll find Masca among the acolytes. Talk to her, and she tells you about her poor performance as a smith (which is important for an acolyte of Abydon), and asks you to help her with a ritual that will allow her to supernaturally boost her skill. If you agree, she gives you her forge hammer and asks you to have it blessed at two holy shrines, as a prerequisite for the ritual.

The two shrines in question are both located back in the Dyrwood:

In both locations, simply click the shrine and choose the option to lay down the hammer to have it blessed. At Magran's shrine, this can cause some blights or drakes to appear, so you'll have to kill them.

When you're done, return to Masca in Stalwart. Hand her the blessed hammer. Now your remaining dialog choices determine whether or not Masca is kicked out of the temple for using dishonest means to become a better smith, and how your reputation improves:

(The dialog options not listed in this table only loop the conversation.)

In all cases, Masca rewards you with The Unlabored Blade (a soulbound dagger), at the end.
