Traces He Left

It's been a long time. How have you been? You don't look very well from the look on your face. Are you worried about something? Tell me, what's worrying you? Did you just say... Caphras? And what is that journal and ore you've got there?

Bring 10 ores mined from Soft Sandstone in the desert, 100 of a powder that triggers rifts, and 1,000 Black Stone Powder. If you bring all of them, I will make it immediately.

Ah, it seems we are ready now. Oh, I neglected to mention what I am crafting. By blending the raw ore you brought with the other ingredients, I seek to unveil the secrets Caphras has hidden within his journal. He has concealed writing in the empty spaces of the journal. Now, we need only pour the Clear Essence here to liquefy it.
