Quest stages of Balthazar's Experiment
1. Deal with Balthazar's ritual circle.
I found a strange ritual circle in Moonrise Towers. It is an evil, corrupted thing that uses shadow magic to force pixies to shine within Balthazar's Moonlanterns. Using one of the dead pixies discarded by Balthazar, I think I could create a much improved version of the Shadow Lantern, but to do so would be to use magic that Mystra strictly forbids her followers from touching. She would want me to destroy it.

...
I destroyed Balthazar's ritual circle, cleansing the corrupted shadow magic stored within. Though Mystra did not speak to me, for a moment I sensed her presence. She offered me a small token of her approval, a blessing to help me fight against the shadows.
...
I used Balthazar's ritual circle to create a Shadow Lantern, capable of not only protecting me from the shadow curse, but wielding the shadows in my defence. Mystra's disappointment is certain, but she shows no sign of punishing my transgression...
...
I left Balthazar's ritual circle alone. Its corrupted shadow magic will slowly fade, tainting everything around it. Unless someone else puts it to use.
