Holy crap! <Late Main Quest Spoilers>

Thanks for checking the cutscenes for the necklace! That was on my to-do list, but I've been distracted ><

I agree, it's quite confusing not knowing if it was technical ease on SE's part to just throw the same model around for Lahabrea. I also got to studying the "Masked Mage" model that appears in the level 15 quest: its pretty much identical except for the bling on the robe and the different colored mask. When you defeat him, your character sees a dark crystal shatter (but unknown what happens to the body really).

I'm currently going through all the cutscenes again and examining shadows. I'll report back with my findings!
