Korius: I've been observing you for some time. I believe you are capable of achieving greater heights of essence extraction.
Korius: Essence is a life force through which all things grow and move. It dwells not only in living beings, but also in objects that seem lifeless, like rocks.
Korius: By understanding the flow of that essence while extracting, you can achieve much more. Would you like to give it a try?
Korius: For the test... a Ruby will be good. Extract essence from a Ruby and bring back a Splendent Ruby.
Korius: If you extract the essence from the Ruby without damaging it, I will acknowledge your skills.
