Ah-ha! Light bless us...I knew it was here somewhere. Apparently the palace was once open to everyone, but at some point it was sealed. Geting in won't be easy.

The stories I've heard say the seal isn't an Aetheric Field. In fact, there's no Aether use to speak of. It's something they call "mirage magic."

There's a line about the Anair Lighthouse...something about light and mist being scattered by light from there? That doesn't make much sense. Hmm. I wonder....

Player: "What is it?"

Let me see...here it is. This story came from a rogue Daeva who'd rather explore than take part in battle--a bizarre choice, but his information has its value.

He said Alukina's Palace required a mirror to get inside. "You must pierce light with light," he said.

I don't think just any mirror will work. The nature of the magical seal...yes. I see. Here, we need a special mirror to pass through the mirage magic with light and mist. The tool is to substitute the light from the Anair Lighthouse.

Player: "What do I need for this mirror?"

First, a Blue Stone from hunting Reinforced Kalgolems, then a Rock Piece from Nolantis Gargoyles, and a Glossy Crystal from a Divine Sea Spirit.

Also some Mithril Ornament to maintain the magic. You can make it yourself if you have the skill, or have it made. It'll take four Mithril Ingots, so you'll want to get some Mithril Ore if you don't already have some.

I hope you wrote that down. When you're done collecting materials, take them to Diana. She'll make the mirror for you.

Player: Accept.

So that's a Blue Stone, a Rock Piece, a Glossy Crystal, and some Mithril Ornament. Got it? Good.

Diana will know what to do with all that. Soar in the light, Player.

Player: Arieluma, Erato.

Are you Player? Erato said to expect you. I'm extremely busy, but I'll make time for Aion's service.

Did you bring the materials?

Player: "Here they are."

You know, I'm willing to do you a favor, but I have no time for people who waste my time.

Come back when you have the materials you need and not before.

Player: "Sorry. I'll be back."

Well, this is quite the assortment, isn't it.? Now to make you the mirror.

I made one of these once before...well, never mind that.

Give me a moment....
