Aksai was eager to start on the Aether cultivation path after getting the last piece of the puzzle from New Dawn.
He carefully reviewed the instructions one last time. This new and improved Aether Wisp Awakening ritual was a delicate process, and precision was paramount.
Taking a deep breath, Aksai reached into his storage ring and retrieved a collection of Aether crystals. Each crystal shimmered with a faint, otherworldly light, pulsating with latent energy.
"Hmm. I'll use the top-quality Aether crystals in my possession. I shouldn't act frugal when it comes to establishing my foundation."
He placed the crystals around himself in a precise pattern, following the Aether formation described in the shard. The arrangement formed a geometric design, each crystal acting as a node in a larger, intricate web.
