"Spirit Realm Gold Essence"—that's quite an apt name for a magic material.
Reilo murmured to himself as he came to the concealed door on one side of the conference room and entered the laboratory.
On one of the glass pans of a balance on the test bench lay an irregular piece of pale silver material, like a chunk of volcanic rock, no bigger than a pinkie fingernail.
The strange thing was that this irregular silver substance was floating in midair on a balance whose display showed zero grams.
In his flattened shadow form, Reilo gently reached out a finger and touched the strange material.

The conference room door opened.
Only a handful of people could enter his
