For any reason finding a proper artisan was all a challenge. However after asking to Halbazzer Drin, after a long negotiation, he pointed me to an expert woodcrafter, the man that makes staffs for him. The old man was a little grumpy at the beginning; however after I presented him the challenge he was happy to help. He has never seen anything like that crystal, and the innovative spirit awoke in him. (Although, perhaps I gave him a little magic push…)
The exotic materials I provided were of great quality. The most difficult to carry was also the last I have got: a six feet log of Treant wood. It was poorly cut as woodcraft is not my expertise, but I could clean it from stems and keep the proper size that will make it easy to carry but will also have enough material to carve. Treants have living wood, and as a magical creature as fey are, properly worked its wood is perfect for magic channeling.

Of course the perverse crystal was also provided, as it is the main part. Indeed, the stuff it is an addition to it, in order to handle it easier and safer. However its condition wasn’t optimal and I knew, that is why I also provided the soul essence. Due to the nature of the crystal, polishing it with such a substance may help repair any imperfection in the hands of a proper artisan.

And finally, and not less important, the glowing feathers. The upper planes hold great power and it is infused in every creature belonging to those planes; as they are, indeed, a piece of the plane itself. Therefore, what is better to protect and to contain evil than such item?

The deal was I would supervise the whole process due to the importance of the artifact, so I will remain here until the job is done. I hope it will be finished on time. I will tell Sirion to be ready, as soon as the artifact is finished we will have to depart.
