The powder you are looking for is silvery in a field of brown and white sand. It'll stand out like a star in the dark. Between the two of us, we've got to harvest a dozen bowls of the stuff. And I made sure to run this by the city's government first. I paid for a license to harvest up to fifty bowls, so don't worry about us stealing or breaking the law" Ophion explained.
