Shade lowered his head to examine the text Iluna had copied down:
"First, the Angel Level Relic, Fountain of Youth. Controlled by the Witch Council; lost.
Second, the liquefied Sage Level Relic, Philosopher's Stone. A few organizations, including the Church of Creation and Destruction, the Church of the Sun and Earth, Zaras Academy of Spellcraft, and Saint Byrens Comprehensive College, retain precious samples that cannot be loaned out.
