Index	Finishes Quest	Journal Entry
10		Sielle asked me to visit Curallo Callidus, an enchanting theorist in Anvil, to get his perspective on the enchanting experiment's failure.
20		Curallo Callidus deduced that Sielle's enchantment caught up her own soul due to its uncontrolled nature. He suggested that studying the Ayleids' servants may help Sielle shield her soul during the experiment.
30		Following up on Curallo's advice, Sielle directed me to the Ayleid ruin of Gulaida and asked that I return with the soul of a Redeemed Keeper.
40		I gave Sielle the soul of a Redeemed Keeper. She asked me to come back tomorrow to witness her next attempt.
60		A day has passed since I delivered the Redeemed Keeper soul gem.
80		Sielle has asked me to witness the experiment again.
100	Finishes quest	Sielle attempted the experiment again without success, although this time without incident either. For my help, she rewarded me with a unique soul trap spell. She vowed to continue her research but has no further duties for me.
110	Finishes quest	I informed Sielle that Curallo Callidus was dead. She was disappointed that she would never learn what went wrong with her experiment, but thanked me for everything I've done.
