The first machine is the pressure machine upstairs. Repair it using 4 colored balls, 3 metal sheets, and 4 valve wheels. Once you have fixed it, calibrate it by filling the leaks with the colored balls. Do this by turning the valves left and right until the ball falls into the leak hole, then turn the valve so the water reaches the top.
Pipe 2: Pull down the left lever, and then turn the 2nd valve left twice. Turn it right until the pipe is filled with water.
Pipe 4: Pull down the right lever and turn the 4th valve right three times, then left once. Turn it right until the pipe is filled with water.
Pipe 3: Lift the right lever back up, and turn the 3rd valve right twice and then left once. Turn it right until the pipe is filled with water.
Pipe 1: Lift up the left lever and turn the 1st valve left twice. Turn it right until the pipe is filled with water.

Go speak to Effigy. He will ask you to meet him atop the tower. Go to the top floor of the tower. A cutscene of the summoning of a beast will ensue. The beast will get angry, and everyone will flee. Go downstairs and speak to Effigy. He will ask you to confront the creature again. Head back up to the top of the tower.

Speak to the beast and help it make up its mind by answering 7 questions. Make your choice to which world you want to commit the creature, magic or logic. Answers the questions in accordance to the chosen world. Answers can't be mixed.
Questions Question Magic Side Logic Side How can I make fire appear at my fingertips? With the aid of 5 fire runes. Get some logs and a tinderbox. How do dragons breathe fire? With the help of the magical dragonstones! By ignition of gas in their belly as they exhale. What do people do, day-in, day-out? Runecraft, enchant jewellery, perform alchemy. Fletching, Crafting, Smithing. What could I do with unwanted bones? Turn them into bananas or peaches! Bury them. What's the best way to travel? Depends where you are headed, but teleport spells are a safe bet. Run, run as fast as you can. I hear people whisper of potions... Yes, you can make magic potions to boost your skills. People mix together ingredients in vials. The nutrients will help you. How are rune stones created? By harnessing the power of the gods! Take a rune stone to an altar and use a talisman. Can people move things with the power of the mind? Yep, you can use the Telekinetic Grab spell. Sure. Use your brain to tell someone to move it! How can I possibly exist? Through the power of alchemy. It's a simple case of combining materials. Explain those flashing sparks that scared the alchemists. You have special powers - no surprise seeing how you were created. Coincidence - there is a lot of loose metal around. I want to learn more - what should I study? How about Magic and Runecrafting? Try some Mining followed by Smithing. If I reach out far enough I can grab the sun. Can't see why not, anything is possible. Don't be silly! You'd get burnt! Am I a creature of magic or a creature of logic? Your very existence speaks of mystical forces. Everything has a reason, even if you don't know what it is. Which do you believe in? Magic. Logic.
