Of course, the Piece of Zikel I gave you cannot enhance your greatsword just by wishing it.

They must be carefully combined, lest the material be wasted, and the weapon's true potential remain untapped.

Unfortunately, I do not have the skills required to do so.

Player: "Seems like an odd way to do things."

Yes, I suppose it is, isn't it? But I do not question Lord Marchutan's ways. Besides, I'm grateful enough to have these rewards to begin with.

But I do know one who has the expertise to do what is needed.

Player: "Who?"

Usener, who dwells in Pandaemonium. She has served Asmodae well in the past.

However, Usener will most likely require some kind of payment for her time.

Whatever it may be, it will be well worth it, so try to accommodate her in whatever way she requires. Will you see her now?

Player: Accept.

A wise choice. Any advantage over Asmodae's enemies must be grasped with strong claws.

I don't think she--or anyone--has worked with such a weapon and materials before, but she will rise to the challenge. Of that I am certain.

Player: "Thank you, Athana."

Say...let me see that. Is that...Athana's Greatsword?

And a Piece of Zikel! I always knew that you could fuse them together to unleash greater power, but I never thought that I would....

Yes, I can definitely do it, but it will take a lot of other materials and labor, so I'm afraid I can't do it for free.

Player: "How much do you need?"

Say...8,000,000 Kinah. But when you get that greatsword back, and use it to hew down your enemies, you'll find it'll be well worth it.

Still, I realize it's a lot. Do you want to get it done now?

Player: "Yes, here it is."

Shards! I really hoped I'd get to actually work with a Piece of Zikel!

I'd do it for free if I could, but I can't. I'd go broke if I did.

Still, if you decide to spend the Kinah, PLEASE come back! I promise, I'll treat your greatsword like my firstborn. Just remember it needs to be sitting in your Cube, not equipped, when you come to me.

Player: "I see. Blood for blood."

Wonderful! This is so exciting! It'll just take a few minutes.... Hah! Ugh!

I...I've never worked with such high quality materials before. It was like handling a being...a lover....

Ahem! Sorry, got a little carried away there. Here. It's some of my finest work.
