Wayfinder Lau: Kari, Must I walk you through everything? Your sword...Hold it up.

Kari is confused by Lau's words.

Wayfinder Lau: When Matters look grim in battle, You can give the blade a quick flash...And escape the danger. Something to hold you over until you leanr Bravura skills! When your situation in battle looks grim, use it to momentarily blind your foes.

Kari: Ok, Sure.

Yuno: So, Umm...What sort of stuff do you need to make Accessories?

Maree: Well...I'm a beginner myself, But I'll tell you what I know. Every Accessory Starts with a Diagram which explains how to make it. Once You collect the materials listed on the diagram, You're good to go.

Yuno: Gotcha. So first we need to find some Diagrams!
