Step 1
IridessaYou know what I think? I think you've been a huge help ever since you arrived. You're a very bright talent!
So I think it's time for you to learn your Talent Skills. And I think I should be the one to teach you!
Talent Skills are much more than ordinary skills. They're the most important things we know. Without them we wouldn't be able to bring the seasons to the mainland!
Every talent guild has their own set of special skills. They've been practiced and studied and handed down for as long as anybody can remember.
The first Light Talent Skill you'll learn is ILLUMINATE. I'll teach it to you, but you have to take a few tests first. That's how light-talents prove they're really ready.
How about it? Will you take a few tests so you can learn Illuminate, your very first Talent Skill?
If you acceptShimmerific! Now, basic illumination is used to -- well, to light things up! But it has lots of other uses too, especially when we're changing seasons on the mainland.
Illuminate lets us find lost animals after sundown, or investigate something that's dark and mysterious.
We also use Illuminate to warm up flowers and trees, say, when we change the season from winter to spring.
Your first test is something you've done lots of times before, and it's all about illumination. I want you to light up fireflies in Twilight Glen!
If you declineWHAT? You DON'T want to learn Talent Skills?
Well, if you say so. If you change your mind, come find me. I'd really like to teach you!
Where am I going?
IridessaFly to Twilight Glen in Springtime Orchard and light up fireflies! I'll meet you there!
I lit up fireflies for Iridessa!
IridessaExcellent! You did great, sunshine!
Step 2
IridessaYour next test is ice sparkles. These are the hardest sparkles for light-talents to handle because ice and snow are made of water, not light.
The only way we can get ice sparkles is to collect whole Snowflakes and melt them! Fly to the winter meadows and gather Snowflakes. Bring them back here before they melt!
What am I getting?
IridessaFly to the winter meadows and gather Snowflakes. Remember to dress warm!
I have Snowflakes for Iridessa!
IridessaWow, you really out-shined yourself, (your name)! That's a LOT of Snowflakes! ...But they're already starting to melt. I'll catch the sparkles real fast and put them in a leaf bag for your next test.
Almost done! Just one more second...
Okay, here's a bag full of ice sparkles!
Gathering ice sparkles is one thing. Holding onto them is another. It's easy to hold one or two, but they bounce around when they're all squashed together like this.
Step 3
IridessaI want to see if you can keep them under control all the way to Rosetta's Garden in Cherryblossom Heights.
I'm here to see Rosetta!
RosettaHey there, sugar! Oh! A bag full o' ice sparkles. They're jumpin' around like crickets in there!
I asked Iridessa for just a few ice sparkles this mornin'! They're just perfect for attracting honeybees to my new pansy patch.
Where am I going?
IridessaTake those ice sparkles to Rosetta right away!
Step 4
IridessaYou'd better get back to Iridessa now. Thanks tons for the sparkles!
I'm here to see Iridessa!
IridessaHow did it go? You got all the ice sparkles to Rosetta? Excellent! So far you've passed every test!
The next test may sound easy, but we'll see. I need you to gather Rose Petals. Why?
Well, different plants have different lighting needs. Ivy likes shade, moss can practically grow in the dark, and roses want full sunlight all day long. Light-talents need to know these things.
I'm checking back with Rosetta!
RosettaWhat are you doin' around here? You ought to fly back to Iridessa, don't ya think?
Step 5
IridessaSo I want you to bring me Rose Petals that look like they've gotten just the right amount of light!
What am I looking for?
IridessaGather Rose Petals! Try looking in the spring meadows.
I have Rose Petals for Iridessa!
IridessaBless my wings, you did that fast! These petals look nice and healthy. I'd say you know your roses!
Step 6
IridessaWell, it's time for your last test. I need to see how well your "brightness sense" has developed.
We light-talents need to be able to tell how bright things are, right? I want you to compare the brightness of two different yellow dyes.
I have one bottle of Daffodil Yellow Dye. You'll need to get another bottle of yellow from Daisy's Dyes in Cherryblossom Heights. Why don't you get Buttercup Yellow?
What should I do?
IridessaBring me a bottle of Buttercup Yellow Dye. You can find it in Daisy's Dyes in Cherryblossom Heights. It's perfect for our brightness test!
I have Buttercup Yellow Dye for Iridessa!
IridessaPerfect! Now -- which yellow dye do you think is brighter?
You're right. That dye is definitely brighter.
(your name), you passed all your tests brilliantly! It looks like you've earned your very first Talent Skill -- ILLUMINATE! Congratulations!
IridessaNow that you have your first Talent Skill, you're ready to explore the Wilderness areas of Pixie Hollow.
Start by practicing your new Illuminate skill in the Silver Trees! You can get there through Pumpkin Patch.
Remember to bring your friends when you go into the Wilderness! You'll have to work together to finish the challenges you'll find there.
