Bestowal Dialogue 'Welcome, <name>. It is good to meet another who walks the path of wisdom, and I will gladly share my insight with you. 'As you grow in knowledge and ability, you will find that you will have many allies to call upon in your struggles. The birds and creatures of the land will lend you their strength. Even the strength of the very earth can be drawn upon, or the light from the sky, or fire! It is a very subtle but rewarding expertise we Lore-masters seek. 'Demonstrate your mastery by summoning your own Bear companion.' HINT: Lore-masters have unique Companions that grant them extra skills and abilities in combat. The Bear aids the Lore-master by drawing their attacks and will aid in other ways at higher levels of experience. Summon your Bear and remember to use him to aid you in combat.
