The Living Study's Legacy Seed.
As the study's owner, he had to remember not to attempt to condense a Legacy Seed lightly. The study was alive, and each condensation would drain it considerably. The seed was an aggregation of knowledge and books, but also an aggregation of life. To condense a Legacy Seed, it was best to wait until the study had reached
