Yasna's Research Notes regarding Brandstones can be found at the lowest level of the central library near her. As you help her with the research, she will update them each day.
Location[edit]
Text[edit]
- Yasna's research notes are piled neatly on the table.
Read notes on Kralkatite. (Day 1)
- This substance was formed from desert sands fused into a glassy substance, then crystallized by the power of Kralkatorrik in the Brandstorm.
- Read on.
- The material shatters with a hard impact, releasing a small amount of magical energy, which does not appear to cause any immediate adverse effects.
- Read on.
- It should be possible to use some binding and stabilizing agents to convert this into a useful material. More samples and data are required.
Go back.
Leave.
- Read notes on Branded residue. (Day 2)
- The power emanating from the Kralkatite strongly resembles the Branded power from this residue, but there are a few significant differences.
- Read on.
- This Branded residue still retains some element of direction from Kralkatorrik, attempting to spread its influence.
- Read on.
- Some element involved in the formation of Kralkatite must be serving to disconnect this power from Kralkatorrik's control.
- Go back.
- Leave.
- Read notes on miasma. (Day 3)
- The impact sites are saturated with Kralkatorrik's energy - more than would be expected.
- Read on.
- This is consistent with the anomalies that I found with Kralkatite, but that means that there must be something leeching the energy from the Kralkatite and discharging it into the environment.
- Go back.
- Leave.
- Read notes on powdered rose quartz. (Day 4)
- This substance appears to be what is leeching Kralkatorrik's corruption from the Kralkatite. It appears to need some sort of activator.
- Read on.
- I expect this is being triggered by the high-energy environment inside the Brandstorm, but it may be possible to activate this behavior in another way.
- Go back.
- Leave.
- Read notes on the astral alignment treatise. (Day 5)
- As these calculations indicate, depending on how the light collectors are calibrated, the energy in the resulting light beam may be sufficient for our purposes.
- Read on.
- The rest of the page is filles with sketches of the Astralarium and noted with formulae and calculations.
- Go back.
- Leave.
- Read notes on mirror calibration (Day 6)
- The mirror calibration readings confirm that we should be able to activate the powdered rose quartz by placing it within the focused light of the Astralarium.
- Read on.
- This will allow us to eliminate any remnant of corruption from the Kralkatite. However, the released energy may be dangerous.
- Go back.
- Leave.
- Read notes on the blazing Kralkatite ingot (Day 7)
- The ingot produced from using the Astralarium to activate the powder is clearly unstable.
- Read on.
- From analysis, I think this should be replicable with any significant energy source, but we will need a binding agent, such as ectoplasm, to stabilize the Kralkatite.
- Go back.
- Leave.
