Description
Shadowmoon Market's alchemist is looking for a helper. She's testing some products on people to become the best alchemist in the world, and she apparently needs an assistant. She's called Lychel, and specifically requested you. Since it seems like you two know each other, why don't you help her out? Maybe she'll be able to release her new reagent sooner if you do.

- The Zenlord, master of Carpus the Shadow of the Sun

Story
Assistant (Points: 50)
Clandestine Reagent Experiment
I tried adjusting the amount of light powder, but it still gives the same wave measurement. I thought the ratio is what's important for conversion?
I can't focus on making this reagent because of people coming in and out of the alchemy workshop. I bet they're going to see that old hag, Carat! What's so good about her stuff? It all looks so boring to me.

Excellent Assistant (Points: 70)
Grim Reagent Experiment
Finally, the reagent is giving out various waves! I learned that it's not just the ratio of the light powder, but also the mixing timing. Now, I just need to change the values of the wavelengths and create a proper version. Then maybe I'll get something that can change another object's vibration! Once I manage that, it's not just a pipe dream to change someone else's feelings. Love potion, confidence potion, I'll be able to make anything! Everyone will go crazy over my potions and I'm going to be rich!
I can imagine granny Carat just dying to bring my great inventions into the workshop. Imagine that, her begging me to let her sell my stuff! Just thinking about it makes me happy. I'm going to keep researching and show Carat how great I am!

Great Assistant (Points: 100)
Amazing Reagent Experiment
I decided to further structure the reagent development. I thought I could convert anything by just changing the wavelength, but that only changes the appearance, not the inherent properties! I can't make a potion that can change someone else's mind with this. First, I should look into restoring a mind clouded by the effect of the body or the environment.
Although I hit a snag in my research, I'm not going to give up. I'll keep working until I finally achieve my goals. That's the spirit of alchemy that Lakka wrote about in his book! Lakka is a great alchemist, just like me. I bet that granny Carat's reagent doesn't even come close to even a drop of his stuff!
Once I get a useful result, I plan to proceed to mass production. I hope that my assistant will continue to help me. PlayerI thought he would just do a half-hearted job for a few days and leave. I wasn't expecting him to do such a good job. I thought he might be sick of gathering ingredients day after day, but never got angry at me. He didn't treat me like an idiot, even when my research made no progress. Above all, he never compared me with granny Carat. What a great guy. Once I succeed, I'm going to make sure he gets a nice cut of the profits.
