    How do I get down there? Do you have to do something extra special to get the key?

    I noticed the door as well, but I haven't yet finished the tower (I just entered at that dreadful dream sequence ... :rolleyes:).

    But here's my hunch anyway: Probably, you need to get some DLC :p

    No, seriously, it is ...
    ... related with the Watchguard of the Reaching quest.

    Ah, so Shale has to open it? I have all the DLC that comes with the collector's edition installed, but I haven't done any of the quests yet.

    I know that one of the "powers" you get while in the fade can do it...I didn't know there were doors outside of the fade that need a similar tecnique to open them.

    No, the DLC part was a joke on Bioware.

    You can access the quest without having to acquire or download anything by ...
    ... going through a ritual that involves statues ...
    which will then trigger an event when you try to open the door ...
    you will not be able to go through it though. As for now there is nothing behind it.

    You are only able to see and travel the basement while doing the Magi origin story at the begining of the game.

    However, Ragusa is also right...
    you can do a ritual which will create an encounter that will come from the basement

    There isn't anything special in the basement any way. The actual quest in the magi tower to the basement though does leave a nice weapon though.

    You don't need to be a mage. I just finished the tower with a fighter and I can testify to that :)
