Explore an ancient temple.
The spell Hurricane or A scroll containing the spell hurricane.
After falling through into the temple you should examine all of columns. Once you have killed whatever you disturbed and continued you should examine the piles of sand, bricks and ribs very thoroughly in order to determine which is the best way of continuing. In the next room, once again, you should pay close attention to your surroundings before deciding how to continue. Once you get to the study you should pay close attention to the skeleton here.
The reward for this quest used to be the spell Sandstorm, which was a very different (but much more powerful in certain circumstances) spell which would continuously damage an opponent whilst it was being cast. It was deemed too powerful and changed to hurricane (A spell which is a direct copy of the Wizards Lightning spell).
You can complete this quest at any level as when done correctly there is no combat after you have killed A mean looking lizard. Unfortunately whilst fighting this lizard you cannot escape so unless you manage to get some help to defeat this monster you would be advised to stick to the recommended level and go in well prepared.
Apparently if you are not a Necromancer you will not be given the scroll anymore and will simply be told that you don't have sufficient knowledge of necromancy to understand the book.
