Upon receiving the ashen-hued letter, Odette unfurls and takes stock of it's contents with a satisfied nod. No reply is sent in return, having deemed the correspondence sufficient, however the bardess sets to preparing notes in anticipation of their private confab.

Even Jall would visit the plateau to see with own eyes what all this is about, as she wasn't present for the conquer of the place. She inspects the plateau, looking at the source of the goodly energies.

Having kala passed her the notes produced so far, she more or less know , but she tries herself, in the godsmen research facility, to test with soil and plant samples. She observe the reaction of two kind of soils have auras and eradicate each otherhappening many times, with the mutations that should happen.



a) She would analize the mineral composition of the soils too, also to know what reagents to add in the following tests

b) Where she want to witness the eradication of one kind of soil she alternate larger quantities of one or another, noting down eventual mutations as she read from kala's notes. Imbuing her sight with a alignment detection spell or similar aura detection, she observes the process over and over , observing those ''particles', trint to discern their nature, paying attention into which soil the mutations occur, assuming it happens in the soil of larger quantity, which would end being the winner as tests so far shown.
She would thus mix the mutations themselves, presuming mixing CG and LG soil will result in pure G soil and so forth.

c) But for other tests she doesnt vary the quantity of soil taken from the plain or plateau , using equal amounts, curious to see if it always end with the same result

d)Going down the alchemical path, at some point she want to try to free those particles, that give the aura to the soils, from the soils themselves. placing a light (brought onto the samples with mirrors and or crystals) nearby, reducing the soils into finer dust but patient grinding in mortar, thus subjecting it to heating and fusion;
Then melts the dusts with acidic solvents. then again , evaporating the liquid, the smolders and fuse the products again. Only to melt again with acid, and so on, repeating the process an undefined amount of times, careful to keep observing if the auras dont fade during the processing.

Once she reputes the mixture being worked enough, she adds a proper obsidant, depending on the mineral composition, continuing to smelt and dissolve as before

When the time seem proper, meaning when any noteworthy hange happens, she let the mixture rest for some time then puts it into hermetic rock crystal transparent containers.

Heating them up gradually to continue the slow freeing of the aura essence from its mineral base (at least that's one of the aims of the whole process) , letting the hermetic recipient fill with fluids and fumes exhaling from the reactions.
At last, she tries to condensate them , into what she is not sure . be it a liquid fluid or gaseos fluid, by cooling or injection of air or...something else less mundane. She expects the risk of the products dissipate and vanish if mistakes are made.

She tries the processes with the various soils and their mutations, at times even doing it while soils of different nature are mixed, adopting quantities in enough amount to complete at least one circle of process before they eradicate each other.

In case of need she'd put magical wards on the containers

e) She wonders if there would be any similarity with the soils and what make them with the various metals she so often gathered from the planes

f) As for the plants, she too takes some specimens with her, replanting them in soils of various auras and see what happens

Kala:

Neutrality-Aligned Plants that she manages to cultivate from Occipitus species don't tend to flourish outside of their native plane in the same way that natural plants might. Most wither and die in Prime soil, while those planted into Aligned or Outer Planar matter rapidly mutate to take on the dominant physical manifestations of whatever alignment is dominant in said soil.

Careful cultivation manages to produce a handful of different plant breeds...a few shrubs and two trees, which are highly adaptable and could likely survive anywhere in the diverse extremes of Occipitus' dual-aligned landscape.


Jall:

((Can you concisely elaborate on what Jall is actually trying to accomplish with her experiments?))

(((is an alchemical approach to try extract the divine essence / energies (or whichever may come from it, really), the whys and the hows, instead of going the purely magical way, basically. plus other points that i'd think were sufficiently described in their more immediate aims . if you think the description is odd i can say i used a bit of referential literature about alchemy . ))
