Looks like we just need some holy water to try out the bowl. Can Josiane make holy water? I assume, as a saint, her urine would suffice?waysoftheearth wrote: ...Further invocations of The Effable Apperception by our magical types resolve the hidden magical runes that will command these artifacts to function... and so it is ultimately learned that:

I recall someone having a vial of holy water at some point, but I don't like digging through other peoples' inventory and I can't remember who it was. Everyone should check their pockets.
More importantly, though, will be figuring out how easily Josiane can MAKE holy water. Maybe just a Bless spell upon a vial of water is sufficient? I bet that danged fountain we found in the Reliquary had holy water pouring out of it before it was defaced...
Once we get a chance to settle down, don't forget about those research papers! Might be good to have another healing-type spell handy.
