I did all of the encounters mentioned in this thread but you saying that you got his power regardless from not being able to finish the quest gives me hope.
Can you tell me where in the Skills or Magic menu I can find Trudy's "Quickcast" power?
It seems it won't be shown in any of the menus. Only during the battle. It is a skill that lets you enter Deepcasf stance faster, but consumes mana (was 6 in my case).
