Description
Grand Experiment... What is it? Great Mages of the past have invented something not mentioned in any history book. Was it before the Cataclysm, before Sarnaut became split into parts? And what was the point of the experiment?
Stage 1 · level 47–48
Stage 1
Start of stage
You can start this stage of the World Mystery by speaking with Maria Zavetina on Wandering Island (Level 48). Once you are done with your task, speak with Keeper of Knowledge on the Isle of Revelation to complete it (Level 48).
End of stage
Great Mage's spark has been released from the trap created by Tep ages ago. It mentioned some Grand Experiment that have gone wrong. Perhaps during that experiment the mage fell down from a disease similar to Tep's Plague and got trapped in the pyramid for years. This is strange, because Tep created his Plague, which destroyed the whole Arisen civilization, long before Kania and Xadagan!

Start of stage
You can start this stage of the World Mystery by speaking with Klavdia Kalugina in the Irdrich ruins (Level 53). Once you are done with your task, speak with this NPC again to complete it (Level 53).
End of stage
The "Ghost", just a weak shadow of the Great Mage imprisoned in the ruins of his tower, told us about a failed experiment. After thousands of years of confinement, he dreamt only of death, and begged us not to try to comprehend what has led him to the downfall. Could his experiment be the very Grand Experiment? If so, we've touched upon a far-reaching mystery. All the Great Mages were part of it. What was their purpose?

The Grand Experiment was the unsuccessful attempt of the Great Mages to conquer the astral and obtain limitless power. The Spark of the Great Mage released from Tep's Pyramid told us about the old documents that confirm this assumption.
The Cataclysm that caused splitting of Sarnaut into allods was a consequence of Mages' arrogance. They thought themselves equal to gods. They've paid a high price for this, and still are paying. Should we be telling ordinary people about it? Should we stir up the past, or is it best to think about the future and, with the knowledge we gained about the experiment, try saving what can be saved?
