Since you're wearing a cape, you must be the new kid everyone's talking about. I'm Bedin, nice to meet you. I'm in charge of making the Mana Rock for Zenumist. ...What? You want to know what the Mana Rock does? Well... it's a device that allows one to gather up mana.

Inside the Mana Rock, there's a core that allows one to register a spell in there. A Mana Rock with a spell registered in is called the Magic Rock. It allows even the ones that have never mastered spells to perform one. For example, the Magic Rock at Orbis is made out of the Mana Rock.

The most important items for creating Mana Rock are Silver Plate and Lidium. Silver Plate is used to register spells, and Lidium is used to store mana. Every Mana Rock features a core made out of silver, and a power device made out of Lidium. Yes, I made them all...

The thing is... Lidium is easy to find, since you can find most of them at Ariant... Silver Plate, that's a different story. Maybe it's because a lot of the mines in El Nath are abandoned and devoid of life... I don't know. Can you help me get some, if it's alright with you?

Wow, really? Then please get me 5 Silver Ore and 50 Flaming Deserts, which will be used to refine Silver Plate. I got to be honest with you, I made a mistake a while back making a core, and rendered Silver Plate useless... hmm, keep this on the hush hush.

Hmm... It might be tough for you, since you're a rookie here... Okay, let me know when you want to try this.

What, you brought all the items? That's... amazing! You must be a traveler instead of an alchemist! Haha, I was just kidding, you don't have to make a face like that. You're new anyway. Good work, seriously.

Silver Plate is a mineral that is always used in alchemy. It is a required item if we want to have the power of magic laden into a special item. It's basic alchemy. Never forget that, rook.
