Mebbeth will ask The Nameless One to complete several tasks before she will teach him to become a mage. Take the seed that Mebbeth gives you, leave Ragpicker Square, and head off to the Marketplace. Talk to the merchant by the crates and he will direct you to speak with Mourns-For-Trees, who can be found just north of the Smoldering Corpse Bar.

Mebbeth will request that The Nameless One speak with Kossah-Jai back in the Marketplace to acquire the ink from a specific fish. Kossah-Jai will tell The Nameless One to speak with Meir'am, who is just off to the south. Meir'am has the ink, but The Nameless One will need a container to carry it, so head back up north to the merchants by the crates and buy a tankard. Go back and speak with Meir'am again and she will give you the ink.

Go back to Mebbeth with the ink. Feel free to berate her for making you go on so many trips to the market! Follow the various dialog options asking Mebbeth about the purpose of your trips and how to read magic scrolls. At the end of the conversation The Nameless One will become a mage and receive several new spells.

Tips & Warnings
The Nameless One can switch back to either a fighter or a thief by speaking with specific individuals to "re-train" him as either of those classes.
Be sure to have a high intelligence score if you want to be a mage, as spell casting abilities are based on that statistic.
