January 25th - - - - - - - - - - An item of necessity that I have created is a weather firework. The rain here is acidic at times and burns the skin. I have used a concept taught to me by the Elves of Greater Faydark. Calling on Karana they can cease the rain somehow with the use of an opal. I placed an opal on a
