Joining the Red Magi
On the main Almerian map, at coordinates 23, -23 there is an exit downward into the Red Magi guildhall. Presumably the Red Magi live underground as it is close to the primal fire of the world's core -- otherwise I have no clue why they live in a cave.
the Red Magi guildhall [n, u]
You see a wooden-framed white wooden bulletin board (updated 2 weeks ago) and Askeen the
Master Pyromancer.
If you are not a member of a guild, you may receive information on the Red Magi by typing 'help
red magi'. If you wish to join the Order of the Red Magi, say 'pledge me to the Red Magi'. To
leave it, say 'I renounce the Order of the Red Magi'. Red Magi may say the command 'advance'.
Askeen's limbs are named head, chest, right arm, left arm, right hand, left hand, right leg, left
leg, right foot and left foot. Askeen was created by Fixy; the source code was last updated Wed
Apr 25 21:32:48 2007. The elf race was created by Lost Souls, who wishes to credit J.R.R.
Tolkien as inspiring this work; the source code was last updated Wed May 16 22:45:34 2007.
At the time of this page writing, 'help red magi' is broken and Askeen's info needs a bit of tweaking, but the important information is there. From testing Askeen speaks Sperethiel and Anglic for understanding joins/advances. I believe he would also understand Enochian and most likely Latin.
You say, "pledge me to the Red Magi" in lyrically-accented Anglic.
Askeen looks you over.

Order of the Red Magi News
The spells Summon Fire Spirit, Summon Fire Elemental, Sustain
Fire Spirit, and Sustain Fire Elemental are now available.
-- Chaos, February 1st 2007
Changed Flezra's instructor patterns from "teach me" to "instruct me
in". Sorry if this screws up your aliases and what not, but got tired
of spells vs. skills conflicts in her responses to 'Teach me x'.

Guild Help Files
You are a member of the Red Magi of Lost Souls, a guild of powerful
pyromancers dedicated to serving neutrality and all it stands for. The
Red Magi use fire as a medium for their magickal art.
Red Magi have very powerful spells, but they tend to take a bit
longer to cast than other guilds, due to the fact that it takes time for
that power to build up in the mage.
Due to the delicate magical field needed for magi to weave their
spells, they may only wear non-encumbering armour and overarmour (rings,
amulets, robes, and so on). Also, magi may only wield daggers and staves,
as it is unbecoming of a mage to wield any other type of weapon.
Those of the Red Order also receive a red robe worn to indicate their
membership. This robe is enchanted to offer greater protection against
mundane damage than an ordinary robe, and has some minor wards against fire.
A mage may know up to eight spells at any given time. These spells can
be changed for other spells at the Red Magi Guildhall, for a price.
There are many spells to choose from, for a list of spells type 'help spells'.
Being a Red Mage, you now have several new skills that affect how well
your spells will function. Type 'help red magi skills' for more information.
For detailed information on casting spells, type 'help casting'.
The Red Magi also have their own channel for communicating with one another.
This channel is accessed via the commands 'redmage' or 'guild'.
Skill List
As a Red Magi you have been imbued with several new skills. Each of
which affects how well you can cast certain spells. The skills are as
follows:
Pyromancy affects how the mage can affect and manipulate flames of any
type.
The Conjuring skill affects how well the mage can bring forth the power
to drive hir spells.
The skill of Enchanting affects how well the mage can imbue non-magical
items, such as an ordinary flame, with magical properties.
The Symbology skill deals with how well the mage understands symbols and
the thought patterns accompanying them.
Evocation affects how the mage can bring forth material objects
where there once were none.
The importance of each skill varies from spell to spell, while one spell
may rely heavily on Pyromancy, another may rely mostly on Symbology. The
more spells are cast by the mage, the faster the respective skills will
increase.

Casting
Casting a spell is fairly simple. You must have the required spiritual points, endurance and of course the components. To find out how much of these things you need, read the help file on the spell. For example, to find out what requirements there are for the spell "Detect Magic", type 'help detect magic'.
To cast the spell "Detect Magic", the command would be: 'say detect magic in enochian', as detailed in the help file. Note that spells are cast by 'say'ing them; but not only that, saying them in the Enochian language.
Enochian is taught by both Raistlin and Flezra.
To see a list of all the spells available to the Red Magi, type 'help spells'. To see which spells you know, type 'spells'. For a documentation on which skills affect your casting, type 'help red magi skills'. See also 'help containment fields'.
Containment Fields
Red Magi have the ability to cast their spells into small spheres, containment fields which can be released at any time. To cast a spell into a containment field, all you need do is cast the spell with no arguments with the word "contain" in front of it. For example, to cast Fire Spikes into a containment field, one would use: say contain fire spikes in enochian This will cast the Fire Spikes spell into a containment sphere which will float around the mage until sie decides to release it. Containment spheres require four spell points per ten seconds each to maintain. A mage may have at most three containment spheres, however most mages will not be able to manage more than one or two at first. To release a containment sphere, simply cast it as normal except instead of 'say <spell> in enochian', use 'release <spell>'. So release the above contained Fire Spikes spell on a rat which is in the room, a mage would type: 'release 1 rat'. The '1' is for sphere number one, since a mage may have up to three containment fields, 'rat' is the target of the spell. Current containment fields, if one has any, are listed at the bottom of the 'spells' listing. Due to the extreme power of certain spells, such as Fire of the Gods, they may not be contained and must be cast normally.
Red Magi should note that spiritual and endurance energy is used up when creating the containment sphere, however components are only used when the spell is released from the field. Also, if a mage runs out of spiritual energy while sie has containment fields, sie can no longer maintain them and the spells inside may either die out or have other, more serious effects. See 'help casting' for complete details on casting a spell normally, not into a containment field. For information on skills which affect casting, see 'help red magi skills'.

====================================================================
Individual help is available for each spell using the command 'help <spell>'.
You may also type 'spells' to see a list of your current spells. Incidentally, 'spells' command can take an argument of what type of spells you wish to list. For instance, 'spells utility' would list all utility spells which you currently have in use; whereas 'spells offensive' would list all offensive spells. Valid types are: offensive, defensive and utility. If you give no argument, or specify an unknown type, 'spells' will default to listing all spells.
Once a spell has been cast one thousand times, it is burned permanently into the mage's mind, and thus cannot be rescinded. However, the mage may learn a new spell, and may thus have more than the default eight spells.
Protection from Fire
Usage: say protection from fire [target] in enochian
Reversible: No
Description:
The casting of Protection from Fire creates a protective
enchantment upon the target which guards it against injury
from fire and heat. Any Red Mage can cast this elementary
spell.
Detect Magic
Usage: say detect magic in enochian
Reversible: No
Description:
The most basic spell of all Magi is to be able to detect
when there is magic present. This spell will make all
magical items in the caster's room and inventory
momentarily glow. Those of any level can cast Detect
Magic.
Fire Lamp
Usage: say fire lamp [target] [-] in enochian
Reversible: Yes
Description:
Those who have been struck blind will find use for the
Fire Lamp. By casting this spell, the caster shall put
fire back into the eyes of the target, allowing the
target to see once more. If no target is provided, then
the spell defaults to the caster as a target. The reverse
casting of this spell shall strike the target blind if the
target is not already in that state. The Fire Lamp can
be cast by those of any level.
Requirements:
An ice crystal.
Fire Sphere
Usage: say fire sphere in enochian
Reversible: No
Description:
By casting Fire Sphere, the mage summons a sphere of fire,
which any mage can enter. The sphere will then travel to
the Red Magi guildhall where its flame is extinguished.
Any Red Mage can cast Fire Sphere.
Pearl
Usage: say pearl [type] [amount] in enochian
Reversible: No
Description:
The Pearl spell enables the caster to entrap some life
force in a pearl. Only real pearls will work properly
with this spell. The caster must specify what type of
life force that the caster wishes to place into the
pearl. The valid types of life force that can be placed
into a pearl are: Hit Points, Spritual Points, and
Endurance Points. The caster must also specify how much
of that type of life force that the caster wishes to
place into the pearl. If no type or no amount are
specified, then the spell will fail. Some examples of a
successful pearl castings would be:
'say pearl spell points 50 in enochian',
'say pearl sp 50 in enochian',
'say pearl endurance points 75 in enochian',
'say pearl end 75 in enochian',
'say pearl hit points 25 in enochian', or lastly,
'say pearl hp 25 in enochian'.
When placing hit point life force into a pearl,
the life force is taken from all limbs. This spell
is dangerous in that the caster may specify so much
of hir life force so as to kill hirself. This spell
can be cast by those of any level.
Requirements:
A pearl is required. The amount of type of life force that is
placed into the pearl will be drawn from the caster.
Fire Spikes
Usage: say fire spikes [target] in enochian
Reversible: No
Description:
A basic offensive spell of the Red Magi, Fire Spikes can
be cast by those of the first level. Hundreds of
inch long spikes made of pure fire are shot into the
chest of the target, causing minor damage. If a target
is not provided the spell will use the caster's main
attacker. If the caster has no attackers, then the
spell will fail.
Flame Of Knowledge
Usage: say flame of knowledge [target] in enochian
Reversible: No
Description:
A very useful spell indeed, by casting Flame Of Knowledge
the mage is granted insight into the target. The knowledge
gained includes level, hit points, spell points, alignment,
and inventory. Be warned the more experienced the target is
the more spiritually and physically draining the casting can
be. Any magi, level three or higher can cast Flame of
Knowledge.
Note: This spell has been lost in the ages.
Tongues
Usage: say tongues [-] in enochian
Reversible: Yes
Description:
Upon the casting of Tongues, a diamond shape flame is
conjured and any who stand amidst the flame will have full
comprehension of anything said while the flame continues
to burn. The reverse of the spell will extinguish the flame
thus removing its effects. Any magi of level three or higher
can cast Tongues.
Symbol Of Vengeance
Usage: say symbol of vengeance [target] <+reason+> [-] in enochian
Reversible: Yes
Description:
This spell places the Symbol of Vengeance of the Red Magi
upon the target. To be used by the mage instead of player
killing. The symbol shows the target is not in the favour
of the Red Magi. The target will be burdened with the symbol
for a number of levels letting everyone know that he or she
is not well liked by the Magi. The reverse of the spell will
remove an already present symbol from the target. Any mage
of level three or higher can cast a Symbol of Vengeance.
Fire Blood
Usage: say fire blood [target] [-] in enochian
Reversible: Yes
Description:
Fire Blood will change the blood of the target into pure
fire, and thus clean away any impurities, such as
poison, which may have been contaminating the target.
If the reverse is cast, then the target will be
poisoned. If no target is specified, then the caster
becomes the target. Those of the fourth level and above
can cast Fire Blood.
Flame Shield
Usage: say flame shield <[target]> [armour] in enochian
Reversible: No
Description:
When cast, this spell creates a shield of flame about the
target. If no target is given, then the caster becomes the
target. The flame shield burns those who would attempt
to hit its owner, as well as protects its owner from
many different forms of attacks. This spell is the most
used and usable defensive spells of the Red Magi. The
duration of the flame shield is dependant upon the level
of the caster, as well as the level of the target. A
modest estimate of its duration is approximately three
or four minutes. No one below the fourth level could
possibly grasp the inflections and concentration needed
to cast this spell.
Requirements:
A piece of armour is required. All you need do is
substitute [armour] in the Usage with the name of the
piece of armour that you wish to use in the casting of
the Flame Shield.
Light Of Flame
Seeking Flame
Ashes To Ashes
Dispel Magic
Fire Platform
Fire Seed
Fire Rain
Usage: say fire rain in enochian
Reversible: No
Description:
When cast, a rain of vicious fire drops from the sky in
the room of the caster. This Fire Rain cause damage to
all in the room, including the caster. This spell can
cause anywhere from medium to severe damage. Only those
above the eighth level can grasp this spell for a
successful cast to occur.
