Part III:
So far you've cleared Scarab Street of its evils, bested the possessed Professor, defeated the Fallen Ones, and now comes a new challenge. In the Cavern hub the Scarecrows otherwise known as the Incantations of Death await you. An aura of magic circling around them like the one that the Dragons and Specters had in Malistaire's Lair.

Death: Welcome Wizard. You are cunning, powerful, and pure of heart. Miquzulti admires you and thus we give you an opportunity to drink this Elixir. It will make you even stronger, an Immortal! No? FINE! Let the battle commence!

Incantations of Death (4): Rank 11 Balance Boss, 8000 Health, Known Spells: Counterforce, Sabertooth, Frostfang, Chimera, Ra, Scarecrow, Poison, Mana Burn, Wraith, Vampire, Weakness, Plague, Shadow Shepherd, Bladestorm, Balance Blade, Death Blade.

"Cheats": Occasionally in your hand a Shadow Card with a white aura around it will appear in everyone's hand. If one person chooses to use it then they will be "beguiled" until the Incantations of Death are defeated. And the first person that chooses to use the card will be the only person who gets to use it. At the end of the battle the drinker of the elixir will be granted a special Amulet that gives them a shadowy aura and a +15% increase to all stats and a new Halloween-themed Item Card.

Death: Hmm. . . interesting, you've managed to defeat my Avatars. Regardless, I am not the threat here; Miquzulti is. I wish you well against him, as I said before, he is ancient, he is wise, and he powerful. No mundane weapon or magical spells can harm him.

(A Door rises from the barren earth revealing an entry way towards Miquzulti's Grand Hall.)

Upon interacting with the Door. . .

(You're transported to a massive hallway, the walls are made of stained glass and overhead a dark ceiling is decorated with hanging chandeliers, the floor is a black marble with a narrow carpet leading towards a circular court room. The same design is here as well, with the exception of a stairway leading upwards.)

Miquzulti: YOU MANAGED TO DEFEAT THE FALLEN ONES AND DEATH HIMSELF? UGH! IT'S DIFFICULT TO FIND GOOD HELP THESE DAYS! NO MATTER, MY PLAN ON CONQUERING THE SPIRAL IS ALMOST COMPLETE AND SOON I SHALL RULE ONCE MORE! AND THERE'S NO WAY FOR YOU TO HARM ME BECAUSE I AM INVINCIBLE! SO SIMPLY SIT BACK AND RELAX AS I DESTROY EVERYTHING! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

(Miquzulti happily celebrating his victory towards the stairs, still in his smoky non-physical form.)

Narrator: This doesn't sound good at all. How do you defeat a monster who is immune to everything?

(Suddenly a projection of faint projection appears before you and then speaks to you. The voice sounding a bit like Merle's)

Unidentified Projection: Young Wizard, Miquzulti has a weakness, it's light. But not just any ordinary light, Pure Light. You can generate some using the Mirage Stone. Here, cite this incantation right before you near Miquzulti and you'll be able to shatter his magic disrupting barriers and force him into a physical form so that he can be harmed. Good luck, we're all counting on you!

(Now with the Mirage Stone you can head up the stairs towards Miquzulti's Throne Room for the final battle.)

Upon entering the Moonlight Tower. . .

(The Moonlight Tower is a large stain-glass domed Darkmoorian cathedral tower with a glass floor and a throne opposite of the entrance way.)

Miquzulti: YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN TO GIVE UP DO YOU? VERY WELL, FOR DEFYING ME THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE NIGHT YOU LEAVE ME NO CHOICE BUT TO REMOVING YOU FROM EXISTENCE!

Narrator: You hold up the Mirage Stone which generates a pure harsh light that burns through Miquzulti's barriers and forces him into a physical form.

Miquzulti: AHHHHH! IT BURNS! WHAT ARE YOU DoiNG... to... Me‽

Narrator: Miquzulti begins to change shape, taking on the form of humanoid monster.

(Miquzulti: Hunched and in black robes, the hood covers his eyes yet they glow through the darkness like white hatred, dark purple wings break through his hunched back and a tail of the same colour growing with spikes falls towards the floor. In his left hand he holds a diamond staff topped with an icy blue gem that radiates a cold winter. And around him a watery aura swirls.)

Miquzulti: Rank 1 Elite Shadow Boss, 40,000 Health, Known Spells: Dark Nova, Shadow Fiend, Shadow Shrike, Shadow Sentinel, Shadow Shepherd, Shadow Seraph, Storm Lord, Triton, Frost Giant, Steel Giant, Fiery Giant, Lava Lord, Ice Dragon, Fire Dragon, Storm Dragon, Regenerate, Pixie, Dryad, Sprite, Rebirth, Unicorn, Shadow Blade, Shadow Pierce, Elemental Blade, Elemental Trap, Guiding Light, Brilliant Light, Bladestorm, Balance Blade, Feint, Shift, Enfeeble, Cleanse Charm, Shatter.

"Cheats": Miquzulti can only cast Healing and Attacking Spells when a Shadow Spell is active.

Miquzulti: (Loud, angry roar). How is this possible‽ I Miquzulti, am Immortal! An eternal nightmare meant to torment the Spiral and conquer it for myself! And being defeated by a puny Mortal means I am weak. I will not stand for this!

Narrator: Miquzulti begins to say a ritual, overhead a swirling storm of darkness is produced and wisps of dark energy fly about in all directions.

Miquzulti: You will know the meaning of pain when I am done with you! UGH!

Narrator: Miquzulti casts a massive bolt of energy at you but for some reason it reflects off of you and strikes Miquzulti.

Miquzulti: AHHHH! I am no more. . . how. . . why. . .

(A portal then appears sending you home to Ambrose's office.)

Merle: Ah, Wizard. You're alright! I heard word from the Observatory that you cleaned things up on Scarab Street and that you went after that monstrous Miquzulti. Do know I was concerned for your safety. Please, tell me all that happened.

Narrator: You tell Merle of everything that happened in your battle against Miquzulti and when you're done Merle sits back and thinks.

Merle: Hmm. . . this story of yours is an epic one indeed. But the fact that you claim I told you of this Mirage Stone and how Miquzulti's flare of energy backfired on him was not my doing. I wonder. . . Ah, never mind me. Oh! Look at the time, you better rest child. You've done well, take a break.

Fin.

(This plot was designed to serve as a special Halloween Dungeon for Wizards of a higher level, preferably around 100 if not higher. The drops from Miquzulti have been undecided but I believe it would work best if they were Halloween themed with decent stats and served as a Holiday version of Hades' attire but this time with decent defensive stats.)

P.S You'll receive a Badge for this Dungeon and something else when talking to Merle. I don't know what yet.
