Nothing that happened in the Temple of Remulos escaped the eyes of those watching closely.
From the moment the souls of the Nightmare Four Green Dragons left the battlefield and rushed toward the Temple of Remulos, everyone at the Grand Professionist level or above had been watching their movements.
When the four Green Dragons fully merged into Shawn's Soulbinding Staff, Remulos muttered to himself, Tyrande's eyes filled with surprise, and Shandris was left somewhat dumbfounded. Broll felt genuinely happy for Shawn.
The staff was made from exceptional materials: a fusion of branches from the sacred tree Darnassus and the Eternal Tree of the Elf Planet. It also bore Archdruid Kailar's Nature's Blessing, Demigod Cenarius's enchantment, Archdruid Broll's nature magic, and Legendary Archmage Meryl Winterstorm's enchantment.
Now it had absorbed the souls of four Green Dragons as well.
By any measure, this staff had everything it needed to become a legendary-grade weapon. All it lacked was a true ascension ritual.
An ascension ritual brought together all of a weapon's strengths, fully integrating its separate enchantments, embedded spells, and materials. Only then could it become a legendary-grade weapon.
The Soulbinding Staff belonged to Shawn. Together with the Scythe of Elune, that effectively gave him one legendary-grade weapon and one semi-legendary-grade weapon. Such a set of equipment was beyond the reach of ordinary mages and druids, or even Archmages and Archdruids. Most Legendary Archmages and Legendary Archdruids did not have anything like it either.

When the four Green Dragons' souls merged with Shawn, everyone marveled at his luck all the more.
The immense souls of four Green Dragons should never have been able to merge into a mortal's body, but
