Study of the Elements: Rock

Here in the Badlands I've stopped to work on my latest project: my shackles of elemental binding. When complete, they will allow mages to summon even more powerful elementals for use in even greater capacities. To start things off, I need small stone shards to test some of my newest offensive spells along with a few gizmos I've pieced together. The shards are easily collected from the lesser rock elementals to the west of here. Could you bring me some?

These shall do nicely, <name>. Thank you. Hmm, a bit more sand than I'd anticipated. Have to adjust the coefficient of friction. No, wait; it should still be negligible with the frost oil. <Mumbling to himself, Lotwil puts one fist into the palm of his other hand and stares at them as if fascinated.>

<name>, you've already proven more able than all my apprentices combined. The next parts I need require a little more strength. Large stone slabs can be found on rock elementals if you're careful enough. Their bodies are stronger and larger, and therefore more prone to having pieces large enough for my tests. You can find them further west of here or southeast along the mountains' edges. Take your time; I'll need a while to test these smaller pieces you brought me.

<name>, simply amazing! I would have thought it'd take half a dozen tauren to bring all these to me.

<name>, there's one more part I need from the elementals here in the Badlands: the bracers of rock binding from the greater rock elementals. By my calculations, those bracers should be enough to gauge the strength of my own shackles. My attempts at scrying the greater rock elementals showed a group of them southwest of here, near some ogres if I recall. Bring me 5 of their bracers just so I have extras. Servo's notorious for misplacing my reagents and research.

<name>, have you ever considered becoming a research assistant? No? I'm not sure what I'll do without your abilities here. Intelligence, curiosity, and strength--all combined into one package.
