Dragon Age Origins: Arcane warrior Dragon Age: Origins Guide

Received from: automatically after examining the phylactery [Brecilian forest - Lower ruins]

Description: An interactive object (phylactery) can be found in the lower level of the ruins and it'll be one of the darker side corridors. Make sure to scan the area thoroughly, because it'll be hard to find. Click on the phylactery (M45, 11) and ignore all the actions from the list except from touching the object. This will allow you to communicate with a trapped being and during the conversation you should ask this entity from something useful. You'll find out that the being can teach you an arcane warrior specialization and instead it'll want peace. After you've received the specialization you can comply to its wish by putting the object on the altar or you can betray its trust by doing something different.
