The wizards in The Crystal Highlands of Armaria will tell you that Makinoriko is a prodigy. They found the Lost Amulet, an artifact of immense, if poorly understood, power. The truth is far simpler: Makinoriko was skipping a lecture on crystal harmonization to go fishing and snagged the amulet on a rock in a reflecting pool. Hailed as a genius of 'aquatic divination'โa field they are certain their mentor invented on the spotโthey now endure endless lessons on scrying. Their legendary patience isn't a magical discipline; it's the quiet desperation of someone hoping everyone will just leave so they can try to catch a glimmer-fin trout. The amulet remains around their neck, a constant, uneasy reminder that the biggest catch of their life was a complete accident.
