Synopsis:
Gale finds the way Balthazar has been enchanting Moonlanterns and decides to steal some of his methodology.

82. : A ritual circle... and a complex one, at that. I've seen such a construction before, in the writings of the Weavepasha of Almraiven, though his vision was not so... tainted.ORI_Gale_Knows_BalthazarCircle
95. Player: What is its purpose?
102. : The sigils are written in a curious mix of tongues - ancient Calishite, Netherese, and something else I can't quite make out. If I'm reading it correctly - it was used in the creation of Moonlanterns.
90. : It's been mostly drained, but even now contains a powerful dose of Shadow Weave.devnote
12. Player: Is it dangerous?
49. : It's inert, if that's what you mean. But it still reeks of the Shadow Weave, and its polluting magic will continue to escape for as long as it lies abandoned here.

22. : Yes, I think I'd be able to craft one more lantern. And with a slight modification of the casting gesture, it might be able to wield the shadows instead of repelling them...devnote
69. : Though... Mystra's eyes may be upon me, and she'd forbid me dabbling with such magic. She'd want it destroyed. Wasted, arguably.devnote

31. : Or did you wish to use it? I assure you - it's pointless. You'll have nothing more than a sore head and a very dissatisfied wizard to show for it.
77. Player: There's a reason you're Mystra's former Chosen. So let me handle it.
28. : Oh, charming. I hope the Shadow Weave was to blame for that little outburst of unwarranted discourtesy.devnote
