The other notable item on this floor is the [[Threadbare Book]] containing the phrase: ''"How can I trust? How should I know? How can I show myself, my darkest me?"'', which provides an additional option for interacting with [[Bernard]] on the roof.

On the northern balcony is the [[Chest of the Mundane]], which is revealed as magical with a successful [[Arcana]] check. Removing the clutter from the chest, or placing a Sussur Bloom near the chest (or vice versa), will dispel the illusion to reveal some scrolls and [[Mystra's Grace]]. The latter can provide the party an additional casting of [[Feather Fall]] which can help them avoid some damage trying to access the ground floor.

Bernard speaks strictly in poetry, with the scattered lines found throughout the Arcane Tower serving as various command phrases for him. In the first meeting, if the party has read [[The Roads to Darkness]] and responds with ''"Or art though friend, a rescue from my lonely wake?"'' it prevents Bernard from becoming hostile and attacking. Successfully doing this grants the player 50 Experience points.
