Speak with Sebastian so that he can explain his plan to you, which you have certainly also guessed by reading the word engraved on the ground. Choose if you want to announce it yourself to Ominis or not. Unfortunately, even if you decide to take it on, Sebastian’s friend won’t be convinced that easily. Talk to again Sebastian to face three choices. Think carefully about what you answer, because this is the moment where you will decide whether you want to know how to use an Unforgivable Curse or not:
