These look like a series of haphazard diary entries made by a very scatterbrained individual. Some parts have been lost or damages but for the most part it seems like they were never very complete to begin with.
My studies continue, I have worked hard and my powers grow but I still do not feel I have fully mastered the art of creating magical items. I leaned much from the Calderon when he passed through here recently but something still does not seem to fit, I cant quite put my finger on it…
…..4 units lizard blood, a phoenix feather, 1 moonsteel ingot, 2 turtle scales…
Still the undead attack the gates, and still I cannot grasp the art of creating items. I have had some success and I have been studying the 6 silver cups that unlock the portal but still something escapes me. The cups are taunting me, they sit on my bench looking at me, deifying all my attempts to unlock their secrets…
I am told the undead breached the outer wall today which is terrible news but it could not dampen my spirits, I have succeeded in creating my first magical item, it was more by accident than by design and I am unaware of the properties the item has but I have done it.
There are guards here to keep the 6 cups safe, I have become quite friendly with one,
We talk often, perhaps I shall try and make a protective item to keep my friend safe should the undead breach the inner wall.
Success, I have created a powerful protective item, it protects the wearer as a full suit of plate armour by looks and weights like a normal garment. Sadly it seems to inhibit spell casting like a normal suit of plate would but it seems to have other properties that I have yet to determine.
It seems that my work may never be complete. The undead overran my workshop in the eastern wing of the keep while I went for more supplies. We are being evacuated to the caverns below the city.
