The research into the Spilling Bottle was finished.
The results were that it worked in reducing the Forest's power.
Sadly, its sludge strengthened the Crimson Sea instead of weakening it, which meant that it couldn't be used to deal with the Crimson Sea.
However, disadvantages often had advantages of their own.
Even though the sludge couldn't be used to weaken the Crimson Sea, it could make it produce a bit of Zephyx, which meant that it was possible to harvest its ability.
The governor could take some of the city's new recruits or advancing Extractors to the sea once every few months or so, spill some of the sludge into the sea, and allow his Extractors to get the Crimson Sea's ability.
The bit of sludge used to achieve this was equivalent to barely half of a gram of Zephyx, which was nothing for a Fanatic like the Crimson Sea.
