Both Runa and Mika stood there staring at the runestone that Ryan had placed on the heavy wooden table of the workshop.
Mika, with her usual alchemist's curiosity, was the first to take a step forward and pick the object up in her gloved hands.
She turned it slowly under the lamplight, analyzing the crystalline structure and the complex mana lines engraved on its surface.
"There is no doubt, it is a minor communication relic." Mika said, looking up at Runa as if to give her the technical confirmation of her discovery.
"Minor?" Ryan asked, crossing his arms while leaning relaxedly near the workshop door.
"Yes." Runa stepped closer to get a better look at the stone, and Mika handed it to her with the utmost care.
The dwarf raised it to eye level, narrowing her eyes to study the depth of the engravings and the purity of the material used by some human blacksmith from Kalistia.
