 * Report back to the Guildmagister before the time limit expires.

Walkthrough
A Guildmagister from the Mages Guild will reveal that a local Noble has been cursed with insomnia, a result of his previous promotion of the Guild against the numerous Witch Covens of the Iliac Bay. The Agent is therefore tasked with putting the Noble to sleep by using a Sleep spell to counter the Coven's curse.

An Insomniac's Cure
The Noble can be found in another town, although the Agent may have to ask around to find their residence, which may or may not be locked. The Noble will be in one of the residence's rooms, and will appear as a warrior, although they will be non-hostile. All the Agent has to do is cast the standard sleep spell in the Noble's direction and a notification will appear.

It should be noted that sleep spells that are either crafted by the Agent, or generated from magical items will not work. Regardless, once the standard sleep spell has been cast successfully (confirmed by a notification), the Agent must return to the Guildmagister before the time limit expires.
