Questionable entries on the list are marked doubtful and things that must be seen to progress are marked as mandatory. Some of the following things do not count, but it's not clear which, so here's an ordered list of things you shouldn't miss. There is one document that can only be read as a Fire mage.

and you will have to complete at least one run with no accessory buffs.
at least one run will have to be a pacifist run, avoiding combat as much as possible (killing things is necessary for a perfect run).
at least one of your runs will have to be a "perfect" run,.
The fire mage may not be able to earn "pacifist" while also completing its quest. The fire mage has a unique book and three unique enemies during the sidequest, which makes it the only class that can earn "well read" and "diversified" in a single playthrough. The water mage is the only class that can earn "who put da lights out", but is also the only class that cannot earn "card shark". You get an achievement for completing all four class-specific sidequests over all playthroughs, and another for completing the game with each class. The first is earned during the optional class-specific sidequest during the second trial, and the second is for earning all bonus points as each type of Mage. Most achievements can be earned by all classes, but each class has two unique achievements. To 100% Mage's Initiation, you will need at least four playthroughs, once as each class. Thanks for checking out Mage's Initiation and supporting point-and-click adventures for this one.
