The magic of my daylight Every morning, as the sun rises and casts its golden glow across the world, a magical transformation takes place. The darkness of the night is chased away, and a new day begins. For me, this daylight holds a special kind of magic. In the daytime, everything seems possible. The world is filled with light and color, and the possibilities are endless. The hustle and bustle of life begins, and people go about their daily routines.
Interestingly enough, as I was using pixel art for Twelf Kingdoms, I though to look for other ways to make an RPG; and an ARPG this time. That was the time, when I tested out so many “simpler” game engines (ones with visual scripting, or with potentials like Solarus, which uses LUA) that I lost count of. The major turnover came when Blender 2.8 was suddenly introduced, and gave me the ability to craft better assets, with fewer resources. This bears a significant importance, as now I could tinker with the idea of actually making a "normal" (as in 3D) adventure, one that I was initially hoped for–one major reason being is time, as drawing pixel art is heavily taxing on one's time (so I thought of faking it, by turning 3D into 2D).
And through those posts, I realized one crucial thing that kept bugging me all these years whenever I saw a modern, top-down ARPG with classic point-n-click style There was a definite lack of action, as weird it may sound. A benefit of using hellfire is that, due to its mystical nature and the fact that it tends to attack a person s spiritual essence in addition to their bodies, is that hellfire can be effective against durable targets or people with accelerated healing.
The hustle and bustle of life begins, and people go about their daily routines. There is a certain energy in the air, a feeling of productivity and progress. The daylight brings with it a sense of optimism and hope.
Divinity Original Sin 2 Guide: How to Douse the Historian
To put out the Historian's hellish flames you'll need a little blood and the ability to use the Bless Source power.
To put out the Historian's hellish flames you'll need a little blood and the ability to use the Bless Source power.
Every last nook and cranny of Larian’s fantasy RPG extravaganza seems to packed with secrets, from stray cats that can join as party members to unexpected items hidden just out of sight.
Of course there’s also puzzles galore in Divinity Original Sin 2, with most revolving around the game’s many elemental battlefield effects like blood, acid, and cursing. One such puzzle involves breaking a curse that sees the Historian wreathed in hellfire that just won’t go out, no matter how much water you use.
Like most of Divinity: Original Sin 2, there are several different ways to approach this problem. Below we cover three of the easiest methods for dousing the Historian’s necrofire flames.
Meeting the flaming Historian
To overcome his fiery curse, the Historian needs to be both blessed and in a pool of blood simultaneously. Some people have tried casting a spell like Rain first, but this doesn’t seem to actually help or be required. Even tipping over a barrel of water doesn’t cut it.
The point is to use the Sourcery skill Bless on the Historian (which will cause flowers to appear at his feet) while there’s either a blood puddle underneath or blood raining from up above.
Rain Of Blood Method
The Necromancy skill Rain Of Blood is a simple way to send a deluge of blood over the area and fully douse the hellfire. Afterwards, use the Bless skill (which costs Source points, so make sure you have some) on the bloody ground where the Historian is standing. In some cases it takes a few turns for the event to actually trigger when you cast Rain Of Blood, so be patient.
Rain Of Blood can usually be acquired from any of the Necromancy skill book vendors, or you can craft it yourself by combining a level 1 Necromancy skill book with a level 1 Hydrosophist skill book in the crafting screen.
Bleeding Party Member Method
If you don’t have the Rain Of Blood skill, however, you can use another method like teleporting one of your own characters up on the dais. You can do this with the teleport gloves found on the Fort Joy beach, or by using a skill like Tactical Retreat that lets you move instanteously.
Once the character is up there near the Historian, hit your own party member with an arrow to make them bleed (keep in mind you have to get through physical armour first) and cover the dais in a blood surface ready to be blessed. Sometimes friendly fire works in your favor!
Flesh Sacrifice Method
If you have an elf character like Sebille, you can instead use the Flesh Sacrifice ability to cause bleeding, and then just teleport the Historian into the blood (or teleport Sebille onto the dais as in the previous method).
After that’s out of the way, use Bless on the bloody surface to douse the fire. This one’s easy to do if you don’t have a Necromancer and don’t want to directly cause vitality harm to your own party member.
Using Flesh Sacrifice to create a bloody surface
After being released from the flames a set of dialogue options appear, but there’s not much to do as the Historian will leave through a portal. It actually seems like you actually get more experience and go through less trouble to just kill the Historian and skip dousing him altogether.

It is a time of new beginnings and second chances. With the light, comes clarity and a fresh perspective. The problems that seemed insurmountable in the darkness now appear manageable and solvable. The magic of my daylight lies in the opportunities it presents. It is a time for growth and self-improvement. Whether it is pursuing a passion, setting goals, or simply enjoying the beauty of the world, the daylight opens doors to endless possibilities. But the magic of my daylight is not just about the external world. It is also about the internal journey. In the light, I can see myself more clearly. I can reflect on my dreams, aspirations, and shortcomings. I can nurture my strengths and work on my weaknesses. The daylight is a reminder of the passage of time. It gently whispers in my ear that every moment is precious and should be used wisely. It encourages me to seize the day and make the most of every opportunity that comes my way. As the day ends and nightfall approaches, the magic of my daylight slowly fades. But it leaves behind a lasting impression. It leaves me with a renewed sense of purpose and a belief in myself. It reminds me that every day is a gift, filled with magic and possibilities. So, as the sun rises tomorrow and casts its golden glow, I will embrace the magic of my daylight. I will seize the opportunities, cherish the moments, and bask in the warmth of the sun. And I will remember that the magic lies not just in the daylight itself, but in the potential that it holds within me..
