Obtaining A Shrouding Artifact

After watching the artifact's be made before him, John could start to understand why they were so expensive. The building itself was absolutely incredible, and must have cost an incredible amount of money to construct. 

Each formation rune was incredibly detailed, with hundreds of formation lines making up each rune. They covered the entire interior of the building, and seemed to take nearly a dozen Elders to operate a single artifact crafting station. 

Not only that, but each artifact seemed to take quite some time to craft, further adding to its cost. 

'Pill's normally take a few hours to create, and each session creates a handful of pills. However, this process makes a single artifact, and takes longer as well. No wonder the artifacts are so expensive.'

After standing there for quite some time, an Elder of the Artificer Hall happened to walk past John. He noticed him standing there, and stopped to address him.
