Patience was a virtue, and Lawrend diligently put that into practice. He waited and didn't use his fire magic to accelerate it from drying.
After a day, Lawrend waved his hand and sprinkled a mist of water all over the Elusive Deep Sea Vine. It was drying too fast because of the low humidity of the red desert around him.
This went on for a week. Lawrend misted it with water until the vine was fully dried.
He peeled off the black crust and revealed a slick and smooth Elusive Deep Sea Vine. It was thinner than before and dry, but it wasn't like a dried vegetable that looked awful.
It was beautiful, almost like a green noodle covered with delicious broth.
"Perfect."
Lawrend took the wooden bow in his hands, running his fingers along the smooth surface. He focused on the task at hand, carefully wrapping the Elusive Deep Sea Vine bowstring around the bow. He took his time, making sure not to rush and to keep his hand steady.
