For days now I have been dreaming of the moon in particular. In every dream, as I walk + through the night, I feel its watchful gaze upon me. + + I know, in my heart, that until I have learned to harness this power for myself I shall not feel satisfied and + I shall continue to be plagued by these dreams and a longing to walk in the light of the moon. + + One dream in particular stands out to me as I think back, in it I am holding something which seems to vibrate + with the very power I can feel sleeting down around me. It is thick, like a braided rope of pure moonlight, + and forms a hoop whose centre seems to exert a pull on loose items around it. I must create this item somehow + and see what I can do with it.

With my + limited skills I can tell that the device holds some small amount of power, perhaps derived from the + materials which went into its construction, yet it feels lifeless, disconnected, not mine. + + I need to find some way to make it mine once and for all. + KNOWN: + - kind: text + body: | + It was so simple. I had a vision that showed me with a dull, lifeless ring and one which as I said before + seemed alive, intrinsically linked to my knowledge and understanding. In this vision I had one item in each + hand, I was holding the dull one loosely and the live one, the one I want, tightly. I looked from one to + the other over and over, until eventually I squeezed hard on the live one. I squeezed until my hand ached + and, for a split second, it felt like my hand was part of ring itself.

I had another vision. In it I seemed to be filling bottles with water and placing them on a table + in the light of the moon. Also on the table was a small pile of that sweet substance one can derive from + the reed-like plants which grow along the river banks. In my vision I placed my catalyst down in the middle + of these items and stepped back, raising my eyes to bask in the power of the moon. + + Annoyingly, my vision seemed to end at this moment.

I am very pleased. My attempt + to replicate the events I perceived in reverie have borne fruit, incredible fruit. I carefully placed + a glass phial, filled with clear water next to a small pile of what I now know is sugar. Then I reverentially + placed down my catalyst and with the moonlight streaming down, uninterrupted upon this scene, I witnessed + for the first time in the waking world, the true power of the moon. + + My catalyst seemed to pull the water bottle and the sugar into its center, at once destroying and also creating, + it expelled the bottle once more, but this time there was a sheen to it. On closer examination I realised + I had seen something like it before. In a village we once visited as a child there was an alchemist who + sold elixirs. One elixir, which looked just like this, was said to imbue the drinker with the swiftness + of a horse in flight. + + I have created a means to move quickly. This will surely help me evade the less savoury denizens of the night. + - kind: catalysedrecipe + goal: noctis:potion.speed + +--- + +item: noctis.potion.health +start: HIDDEN +pagestack: + # A hidden-at-first knowledge item will become KNOWN on some trigger.
