Mineral ore can be produced in several ways, including chemical reactions and magical change.
The Iron Stone Association received report of a Magic Craters in Misty Plateau in Deepfathom.
The presence of the residual magic there means there are many precious minerals underground. The Iron Stone Association is planning more comprehensive surveys.
However, the giant beast Aschenkar lurking nearby is blocking our survey team. Stan wants the beast removed so surveying can proceed.
Mining is not just about sticking a shovel in the ground and scrabbling around.
You must study and analyze the geology first to be sure of finding mineral ore.
Safety must always come first during mining. The mining site must be kept safe at all times.
Once that giant beast is removed from the equation, we can then concentrate on mining.
