No doubt you're wondering just how the Piece of Zikel works.

I've heard rumors it's a piece of specially refined Aether made by Lord Zikel himself. But who knows?

Most weapons will fall apart if they even come into contact with it. That's why I gave you Athana's Pistol.

Player: "So what now?"

Honestly, I don't have the skills to combine the Piece of Zikel and Athana's Pistol.

I'd likely destroy them both if I tried. Fortunately, I know someone who can combine them -- Usener in Pandaemonium.

Player: "Then I'll go see her."

I must warn you... Usener never takes on a project for free, and her prices are extremely high.

However, her skill is unquestioned. I can think of no one better at this task in all Asmodae.

Knowing the cost, would you still go see her?

Player: Accept.

I knew it! I knew you'd be willing to go there. I know I misled you a bit, but think of the power of this weapon.

Whatever the outcome, I thank you for your service to Asmodae. Few could have done what you did.

Player: "Farewell."

Is that a Piece of Zikel? And Athana's Pistol? Where did you get those?

Wait... you want me to work on them? This might be the greatest day of my life....

Don't worry, Daeva. I'll handle these with the utmost of care.

Player: "I should hope so."

Oh, um... There is the little matter of materials, payment, taxes, and so forth.

It should only come to about 8,000,000 Kinah... I hope that's no trouble.

Player: "The things I do for a weapon."

You brought those things to me and then you won't pay for me to work on them?

Aaagh! Why do you taunt me like this? I was looking forward to this so much. Shards....

You'd better come back here with the Kinah one day, Player, or I will be very annoyed.

Player: "Um, okay."

Excellent! Just leave this to me! First we hammer this, then we file that....

Haha! Just look at the improvement! That's the power of a Piece of Zikel.

This will do wonders for my reputation once word of this gets around.
