Part 2: The Fusible Ores

Fusible Coral Ore:

Back while unraveling the 
secrets behind the demise of 
the Kedge, I confronted 
Phinigel Autropos, the last  
survivor of his kind. While 
speaking with him and enduring
his ill-tempered threats and 
warnings toward me, I noticed 
coral-like ore on the reef of 
his domain. I managed to 
collect a few samples of this 
fascinating mineral.

This ore is composed of coral 
reef shells, another 
substance, not yet defined,  
and is tightly compressed by 
the water of the Kedge Keep.

Fusible Earthen Ore:

When those bumbling gnomes 
destroyed the Hatch releasing 
Yael and Dartain, minerals 
from the Plane of the 
Underfoot dispersed outward 
onto the surrounding area.
 This form of earthen ore is 
one of the hardest substances 
currently existing on Norrath 
and is the source of the 
earthen golems and elementals 
who lurk in the Hole.

Fusible Igneous Ore:

I spent many months 
researching upon the continent
of Kunark. I came across a  
unique form of lava in the 
Skyfire Mountains. These 
mountains have several dormant
volcanoes filled with lava 
waiting to erupt. It was 
around one of these volcanoes 
where I found fusible igneous 
ore.

When volcanic lava cools it 
forms into a hard-form 
mineral. This mineral is by  
far one of the hottest 
minerals on Norrath and 
requires extreme heat to melt.

Fusible Velium Ore:

Although he is usually a 
bothersome individual, the 
dwarven warrior Thubr 
Axebringer has assisted me 
with obtaining samples of 
velium ore. He managed to find 
a few rare pieces of it in the
Western Wastes of Velious.

Velium ore is the most unique 
ore I have found so far. Its 
composition relies heavily on 
the coldness of the area it is
found. The cooler the area, 
the more tightly compressed it
is likely to be. In addition, 
the more compressed the ore 
is, the greater the likelihood 
of it being useful in spell 
research.

My research continues . . .
