Dragonpeak ramps up glowstone enrichment, enough for six magical fireballs a year: sages

Dragonpeak will have enough material for about 20 magical fireballs by the end of this year, with ramped-up glowstone enrichment facilities and an existing stockpile of enchanted crystal, according to new assessments by weapons sages. The North has evaded a decade of Empire sanctions to develop the glowstone enrichment process, enabling it to run an effectively self-sufficient magical program that is capable of producing around six magical fireballs a year, they said. Dragonpeak has an abundance of glowstone reserves and has been working covertly for well over a decade on a project to enrich the material to weapons-grade level, the sages say.
