I never came across a Magic Spear. I apologize that this response took so long. It appears that two earlier responses were misdirected and never got to you. I suppose that you may have already found the solution for yourself, but in case you're still stuck I'll try to help you out. To finish the book, you are required to either have the Magic Spear or have the Discipline of Animal Kinship. The Magic Spear is found shortly after you enter the Durenor forest and before you enter Port Bax. If you need more help, please let us know. For Sommerlund and the Kai! Jonathan Blake Project Aon
