Talk:Magic Lamp (quest)/@comment-33769196-20191024102615

I think doing this quest is important, because if you don't, you will lose access to the place of power located within the elven ruin for the rest of your playthrough. I decided not to do the quest, left the elven ruin, forgot there was a place of power, returned later, only to find the door with the guardian unopened and there is no way to open it without doing this quest. That extra skill point can make a difference, especially early in the game.
