One moment...hmmm...I can't feel any energy from this Stone.

Just as the scholars suspected--without an Aetheric Field, the stone has lost its power.

The Ancient Activation Stone is the key to operate the Artifact, but I don't know how to restore its power. I've asked the scholars, but none of them had a solution.

Player: "I think I see where this is going."

Right. Well, I haven't met her yet, but I've heard there's a woman called the Walking Encyclopedia in the Library of Sanctum...she knows everything.

Her name is...let's see...Fuchsia?

Why don't we ask her?

Player: "Sounds like a plan."

Will you go to Sanctum, please? When you return, I'll pay your traveling expenses.

This is the only Activation Stone we have...I can't put it in the care of just anyone. And it's not possible for me to leave my position right now.

Player: Accept.

Show the stone to Fuchsia and ask her how to restore its power.

I hope she knows the answer....

Player: "On my way!"

So, what brings you here?

Have you come to test your knowledge against mine?

I can start anytime you're ready.

Player: "Can you tell me how this works?"

Oh! THIS is the Ancient Activation Stone? I've only seen it in books.

There's no Aether in this stone. But you're in luck--I know how to restore it. We must seek help from the Leibos. Leibos know how to operate Artifacts.

Go and meet Lugbug, the leader of the Leibos. I warn you, he's a bit...unusual.

Player: "Unusual? Hmmm...."

Yes, something shining. Yes, I'm certain of it.

Yes? What is it?

Show me, yes.

Player: "How might we recharge this stone.?"

Yes, it's old, very old, poor thing, lost its power, it did.

Yes, I am the key to the secret of Artifacts. Yessss, I will infuse it with power.

Yes, so simple, now it's recharged.

Player: "Thank you LugBug."

I was worried because you took so long.

What happened when you went to meet Fuchsia?

Did she know how to find the solution? Please just tell me.

Player: "Here--the stone is recharged."

You went to the Abyss to recharge this? And you met a Leibo...Lug...Lug something? Well, the details don't matter.

You carried out a demanding task, Player. And you did it very well. Thank you.
