Zach did what he always did when he used the contract skill from Alzara's contract. He imagined himself gathering and extracting all the valuable material of the Basilisk's brain and assembling a lump of pure and refined Basilisk brain matter.
The plants and herbs Alzara used for her alchemy he had done so many times that he could get a feel for what to extract just by holding them. The more commonly used monster parts like bones, hearts, scales, and gallbladders were the same. There was a pattern, a standard to those things and the materials he wanted from them that Zach had learned.
However, brains were rarely used. They were mostly only useful when active since the worth in one was approximately equal to the information it held.
