Hey, sorry about sending you way over to Conqueror's Ravine, but it's the closest place to harvest Ensouled Aether. Really.

If I had more time, I'm sure I could figure out how open a new Stigma slot with materials I have on hand. But, between surfing the Windstreams and the backlog of Stigmas I'm working on, there's just never enough time.

Anyway, I see you have enough Ensouled Aether now to do the trick. Way to stick with it!

• "Thanks?"

I can't be certain this will work, but I'm pretty sure we're as prepared as we're going to be.

Now, we just need to dive in and give it a go! I love this part!

You in, Daeva? Feeling lucky?

• Accept.
• Decline.

Ok then...you might want to shield your eyes for this first part...this is kind of bright.

Hold out your hands. Now take this orb. It'll be warm. It's full of pure refined Ensouled Aether. Assuming I refined it right, which I did. I think.

Now, take a deep breath...hold...and release....

• "Wow. Trippy!"

Everything's ready now. Get Reemul to help you open a new Stigma slot.

Yah. Pretty interesting, isn't it.

Now, stay focused, Daeva. Keep breathing deep. Don't be nervous. Let the power flow over and through you.

Breath. Stay calm.

• "This is calm!"

Alright. The orb has stopped glowing. I think we're done. Open your eyes...and you can get down off the counter now....

So, did it work? Go ahead. Check your Stigma slot.

Heh! Sweet! It worked! I knew it would! Well, I knew it might, but when it works, that's the same thing. I hope the new Stigma slot helps you, Daeva. It's been a pleasure working with you.

Reemul asked if you were ready to give his method of opening a new Stigma slot a go.

You agreed and the two of you succeeded in opening a new Stigma slot. Sweet success!
