Rune Magic can be unlocked very early in Gothic 1 Remake by completing a quest “The Price of Magic”. To start the quest, you need to speak to Torrez in the Old Camp and ask him if he can teach you magic, then he’ll ask you to gather a few resources and he’ll teach you Rune Magic and give you a starter rune. This guide exactly shows how to start the quest, how to get the resources and explains the starter runes.
The Price of Magic Quest
Go to the Old Camp and look for Torrez at the southern side of the camp. Talk to him and exhaust his dialog options, once you’ve done that a new dialog option will appear allowing you to learn Rune Magic. He will send you on an errand to gather resources to learn rune magic – 2 wolf claws and a plain scroll. You can obtain these resources at the old camp itself.
Wolf Claws
You get wolf claws by killing and looting wolves. Alternatively, you can also buy from traders like Mordrag. Look for him at the southern side of the old camp, and it costs 7 ore for each claw and you need 2 wolf claws.
Plain Scroll
You can buy the Plain Scroll from the vendor Graham, who sells the colony map. You can find him to the right side of the northern entrance in the Old Camp. A single plain scroll costs 13 ores, and we require only one plain scroll.
Upon gathering the resources, return to Torrez and hand over them to him, and select the “Learn Rune Magic” option which costs 5 LP. You can choose between 2 rune magic – Firebolt magic and Healing magic. Selecting firebolt will allow you to shoot fireballs at enemies to deal fire damage while healing magic allows you to heal yourself. Which rune magic to select depends on your playstyle but if you ask me, I would recommend getting the Healing magic as it costs 549 ores while the firebolt costs 330 ores and since Torrez is also a merchant, you can buy the other rune from him.
