Magic Ink

Exploration Stage: Antique Store
From: Alford Stone
Description: It worries me that the charms of my protective tattoos have weakened. What if some witch decides to put a curse on me? The symbols need to be refreshed. I’ll need special charcoal to make some magical ink for the ritual. Can you help me find it?
Completed: I see you found a whole bowl of charcoal from the druid eucalyptus branches! They say that this tree has absorbed the knowledge of the forest sorcerers who accumulated it over the centuries. I’m sure the charcoal will make for excellent magical ink, and the signs drawn by it will acquire the power of magic.
