• Bux told Nicolas Flamel that Silan was resting, and Nicolas Flamel decided Silan could wait until next year to learn Fiendfyre.
• Silan practiced Dragonfire and noticed its power had increased beyond what the Fire-Control Potion could explain.
• Using Wizard's Eye, Silan identified Phoenix Nirvana Fire mingled with Dragonfire and suspected his Phoenix bloodline had caused the two abilities to resonate.

• Silan chose Control, increasing his magical power control precision by 25%.
• Silan tested his improved control by shaping the Dragon-Phoenix Twin Flames and refining an ordinary piece of Moonshadow Stone into a brilliant gemstone.

• Bux warned Silan that the selected Moonshadow Stone was difficult to refine, but Silan said he was confident.
• Nicolas Flamel stopped the music, examined Silan’s gemstone, and went to the Alchemy workshop, where Silan had prepared to begin.

• Silan began refining the Moonshadow Stone with Dragonfire while Nicolas Flamel and Bux watched.
• The expanding fireball began to slip out of Silan’s control, so Nicolas Flamel shielded Bux and urged Silan to retreat.
• Silan took a Fire-Control Potion and activated Wizard’s Eye, then brought the flames back under control.
• Silan used flame tentacles to locate and remove the Moonshadow Stone’s impurities.
• After a flash and a series of faint popping sounds, Silan announced that he had succeeded.

Silan successfully refined the Moonshadow Stone, and Nicolas Flamel explained the five tiers of alchemical materials before promising to teach him the Fiendfyre Curse. Meanwhile, Hermione returned from holiday eager to tidy her room before Silan visited.

• Silan refined the Moonshadow Stone into a Crystal Core Tier crystal, impressing Nicolas Flamel and earning Books's respect.
• Nicolas Flamel explained the five material tiers, from Coarse Sand Tier to Starshine Tier, and said that Starshine Tier materials had not been seen for centuries.
• Nicolas Flamel told Silan that refinement techniques could not currently raise a material's tier, though unusual flames might overcome that limitation.
• Nicolas Flamel gave Silan the crystal core and agreed to teach him the Fiendfyre Curse the next day.
• Hermione returned home from holiday and hurried upstairs to tidy her room, while Mrs. Granger guessed she was eager for Silan to visit.

Nicolas Flamel taught Silan the dangerous Fiendfyre Curse, and Silan tested its behavior and counter-curse in the workshop. Before Silan returned to England with Nicolas, Flamel gave him a protective barrier sphere and a storage ring; at Flamel’s home in Devon, they found two unexpected guests from Beauxbatons.
