Passing the Test of Fire

1
Obtain the Sacred Hammer. In order to pass Serpentes' test, you must defeat a magic golem, which can only be done with the sacred hammer. The sacred hammer is in the lower part of the monastery and is guarded by Garwig, a novice who never sleeps. Purchase a sleep spell from Gorax, and use it on Garwig. While Garwig is under the spell, grab the sacred hammer and head outside.
2
Head out of the monastery, towards Orlan's tavern. From Orlan's tavern, you have to take the path between the one that leads to the monastery and the one that leads to Onar's farm. If you are on the correct path, you will see a few of your fellow novices and a camp made by Dragomir.
3
Defeat the Golem. Keep following the path till you come across a small winding hill with goblins on it. Defeat the goblins and continue on forwards. After a short distance, you will see a barren patch of land overshadowed by trees. The magic golem resides here. Equip the sacred hammer before approaching the golem. A single hit with the hammer will destroy the golem. Beware, no other weapon can damage it.
4
Keep following the path. Follow the path till you find a big lake surrounded by hillocks. Upon finding the lake, turn right at the fork in the path. The path leads you to a small rock cove covered in thick shrubbery. The shrubbery hides a cave. Enter the cave and take the rightmost path.
5
Defeat Agon. If you take the correct path, you should see two statues and rays of blue light emanating from the ground. Agon, a fellow novice reaches the treasure before you can. Unfortunately, however you react to his victory, he attacks you. Defeat Agon and open the chest that lies nearby and obtain its contents. The chest contains a blank runestone. You will need this for the final part of the test, which is to create a Fire Arrow rune.
6
Return to the monastery. Upon returning, go to the library and talk to master Hyglas. Hyglas will agree to teach you the formula to create the Fire Arrow rune, if you gather all the ingredients for it.
7
Create the Fire Arrow rune. Go to Gorax and buy one Sulfur and one Fire Arrow spell scroll. After you have these on hand, talk to Hyglas who will teach you the formula. After learning the formula go to the Rune table, and create a Fire Arrow rune. You cannot use it yet.
8
Talk to Pyrokar again. After completing the tests, go to each of the High Fire Magicians and talk to them. Once you have talked to all the three High Fire Magicians, talk to Pyrokar again, who will swear you to an oath and give you the Fire Magician's robe.

Congratulations, you are now a Fire Magician! You can now use the previously created Fire Arrow rune, and any subsequent runes that you may create or obtain.
