Shandara has a lot of work cut out for her. For nearly the next month, she works at seemingly a feverish pace, but seeing as she more or less requires 4 less hours of sleep than most people, her schedule is still actually manageable.

She first acquires suitable gems and cuts them, bringing them over to Bolten's workshop so he can properly record their exact measurements. Then after that, she cuts the ghost crystals themselves into the little cogs Bolten needs, as well as the other parts for the control aparatus. When that is done, she brings the crystsls over and checks on how the sword was coming along. Given that Bolten was also working on the sword at the same time as his other invention, progress was slower than she would like, but she still had other work to do.

Shandara still needed to etch some tiny runes in her gems, enchant them, as well as make the backup scrolls. She also visited the archives to review the basic formulae for magically enhancing a weapon and specifically making it more effective versus undead. She also sees if there is a way to make the blade stronger, should it need to be used against a statue or something again.

All this is taking place while she has to make her visits to the Escribano Workshop occasionally and checking on brewing up her side project. Shandara was pretty relieved as everything was wrapping up. Funnily enough, just after the last of the sewer pipes were enchanted, her brew was pretty decisively finished.

After pouring her brew into two ornate glass bottles, blown with dark glass and with creepy effigies of spiders, of all things, she takes her little project over to the curator of alchemy so that he can sample, as far as he may be concerned, the underdark's finest. Without risk of murder or enslavement, in any case. Then again, who knows what he's really sampled? Like before, it was probably foolish to underestimate a curator..
