This brings about a betterment of the self. A vial of the salt for this ritual using specially prepared salts that can be obtained from Niloa for 5 gold Dokoras at the Temple of Serenity on Wyvern Mountain in Ilithi.

You can only purchase one vial every 24 hours. You may own more than one vial at a time, but may only create one circle every 24 hours as well. While you can destroy a circle in combat, you cannot create one.

2) POUR the vial for each of three stages to complete the tyura circle.

NOTE: The circle will blow away in approximately 10 minutes if uncompleted and must be completed with the same vial that started it.


Colors

Available colors are Orange, Red, Yellow, Pink, White, Blue, Violet, and Green
