==Additional Notes==
The paper is old and tattered. One edge has been singed and the lettering on
its surface has been smudged by ink and dyes. Something has been written
upon it:
                      THE CROWN OF PROXIMATION
  In my time in isolation from my brethren, I have studied the art of
  proximation. By applying my superior craft and taking from the dark world
  around me, I have created my masterpiece, my Crown of Proximation.
  For fear of losing my accomplishment, I have written my procedure here.
  I have gathered together these components:
    One rib bone to give the crown form and life.
    A glowing piece of amber to provide light by which you may see the way.
    Four pieces of coral to bring forth the beauty of the world around you.
    One ball of tar to bind the crown to form and hold it there.
    The blue powder of the Saultancas to animate the magic of the words.
  Upon placing my components together, I chanted the phrase:
                     XANQUITH ANATHAN QUITHALTOR
  and apply the strength born only to all Saultancas, thus creating my prized masterpiece.
