It was an object about the size of a water bucket.
Its material resembled some kind of soft-textured azure metal.
Ron leaned over the table and examined it from top to bottom, discovering that relatively simple magic patterns had been inscribed both on the surface and inside this metal bucket, forming a magic array.
Or perhaps two?
Ron was an idiot when it came to magic arrays. He could only tell that these were magic-array patterns; asking him to learn anything more would be making things difficult for him.

"A Water Condenser I invented."
Ilya lifted the glass lid on top and picked up the bucket-sized metal container to show Ron. "The outer layer is a mana storage array, while the inner layer is a water condensation array. The two are linked by patterns representing the flow of mana."
"A mage can store mana in the mana storage array. When it is needed, they can turn this little handle to align the patterns representing the flow of mana, allowing the mana in the storage array to activate the inner water condensation array."
"Once activated, the water condensation array absorbs the mana from the storage array, draws in nearby water elements, and converts them into pure water."
Ron's eyes lit up as he looked at the rather unattractive Water Condenser.
Ever since arriving in this other world, he had constantly been absorbing information related to magic.
