Look for more MUNDANE MINERALS, since your arsenal could stand to be better filled.Resist the urge to refer to the tool as HER. Yes, the FEY HORN is that of a NEREID FEMALE, and the PROJECTION is thus the MANIFESTATION of its SPIRIT, but it is important not to be distracted in terms of CLASSIFICATION. Elsewise a lonesome dwarf’s partnership with his tools becomes STRAINED.
Anyways. Having just given it a thorough cleaning and ensuring compliance for a good work day, you needed to START DIGGING. No need for strenuous mining, however, as you acquiesce to requests to let the Narwhal get accustomed to its new state, and utilize your PROSPECTING PICK to analyze the tunnel you awoke in. While you don’t quite remember how you came to be here, the HIGH HOLLOW is uniquely stuffed with different strata of minerals, so you were assuredly not just wasting time.
The strata you currently are exploring is a SEDIMENTARY STRATA, rife with stone born of the wear and tear of elements followed by deep slumber, bearing of fossils and minerals and metals that precipitate out of water, dissolved from elsewhere and collected in place over millions of years. Such layers were sources of GOLD STRIKES in more surface-borne contexts, as minerals were worn off of older stone and deposited whence water, the implacable mover, took it. This might set the illusion of not being in a deep place, but the HIGH HOLLOW has DECEPTIVE GEOLOGY, where it is an assembly of many different strata placed chaotically above, below, and aside, for reasons you cannot recall but have an inkling of a feeling is due to GEOCHAOS. As much unknown can be attributed to.
A scrape test of nearby stone gives you easy indications of PHOSPHORITE MUDSTONE and HEMATITE. Phosphorous and Iron ores. Or, to refer to them more roughly, BATSHIT and RUST. Useful industrial materials. Their Geomagics correspond to LIFE and FLAME. Another prospect leads to a possibility of GIBBSITE and GOETHITE- Bauxite, in short. Geomagically speaking, they correspond to DENSITY and FLAME. A third probe…there, the flash! How lucky to have found <span class="mu-i">Gold</span>, you might assume…but Gold is a GEOCHAOTIC ANCHOR, and thus not bearing of its own forces without IMBUEMENT. Which is what makes it such a valuable material in RUNIC TOOLS as well as WARDS. This is also just a small touch of it- anything more than a few grains would require sole focus upon it.
