Mahali took out another small jar. Like the one Fami Cha had used to hold the Mother and Child Ghost, it could contain them!
The jar Fami Cha had used before was rather ordinary. It had only become incredibly sturdy after certain spells were applied inside and outside it.
But ordinary jars could still easily run into problems. If the Mother and Child Ghost escaped during the refining process, the Sorcerer refining them might very well be finished.
At that point, he would not be facing an ordinary Mother and Child Ghost, but one that had replenished its energy and might even have evolved. The outcome was easy enough to imagine.
The Mother and Child Ghost might be tempting, but a problem at any stage could cost someone their life.
Thus, once Mahali became obsessed with obtaining a Mother and Child Ghost, he began making a special kind of jar.
This jar used special materials and required special methods and treatments during its creation. The finished product was not only sturdy, but could also accelerate the refinement of the Mother and Child Ghost, shortening the process considerably.
Moreover, it ensured that the Mother and Child Ghost could not escape through its own power during refinement. In the end, only the Sorcerer who had sealed the jar could open it.
These jars were troublesome to refine, difficult to make, and expensive, yet their purpose was extremely limited: they were only useful for holding and refining Mother and Child Ghosts. Using one to imprison an ordinary ghost would be practically pointless, perhaps even worse than using other jars.
