Some things in this world are worth more once they've actually been used.

The Piece of Zikel I gave you is an example. It's a precious material, sure, but almost no one knows how to use it properly.

Myself included, unfortunately. You'll need an expert to avoid destroying Athana's Harp with the Piece of Zikel.

Fortunately for you, I do.

Usener in Pandaemonium is the most skilled craftswoman I know of. If anyone can work with a Piece of Zikel, it's her.

I know so. Trust me, Usener is a master of her craft.

I'm not sure if harps are her area of expertise, but it shouldn't take her long to figure them out.

She's always been somewhat of a savant in her field. Does that sound good to you?

I knew you'd go for the idea. What Daeva would refuse a chance to see such an improvement in their weapon?

Just be careful while you travel to Pandaemonium. There are many who would leap at the chance to steal a Piece of Zikel.

You don't trust her to work with it? Usener's reputation is well deserved.

And really, I don't think you'll be able to find someone else to work with the Piece of Zikel.

Give it some thought. The improvement you'd see in the harp would be staggering.

Yes? I'm busy and--Is that a Piece of Zikel? And Athana's Harp?

And you want me to work on them? Of course I will! I can get started right away.

There's just the small matter of payment to deal with.

Well... The materials I need are very expensive, so it will cost 8,000,000 Kinah.

But the results! This will be a harp unlike any the world has never seen!

What? Quality on this level doesn't come any cheaper!

Go ahead and look around, but you won't find any offer better than mine.

You'll be back, oh yes, you'll come back. And I'll be ready.

Ah, these are wonderful. I just need to remove the strings and then start with the....

There! A masterpiece if I ever saw one! Go ahead and take the harp, your character. May you use it well.

This will do wonders for my reputation once word of this spreads.

1. Bring Athana's Harp and the Piece of Zikel to Usener.

   Athana's Harp, Zikel Fragment, Kinah x8,000,000

Bring the Harp and the Piece of Zikel to Usener.

Athana told you that special skill was required to bring out greater power in Athana's Harp.

With that in mind, you brought the harp and the Piece of Zikel to Usener in Pandaemonium. She fused the two together and gave you an empowered harp.
