Much that was hidden to you is now revealed. He asks you, 'do you, too, seek to know the true nature of things?' He begins to lecture your courtiers about the hidden alchemical properties of matter: about how mercury can be induced to flow towards the sound of birdsong, how elemental sulfur can be rendered out of sacred texts, and about the hidden resonance of certain stones in moonlight. His body is covered in writing of a kind that you have never seen before the symbols even seem to shine of their own accord. A wandering mystic appears at your palace.
