Strange Contraption

This rather large machine is located in the lower south western area of the Solen Hives.

A book lying on a desk next to it reads:

This device is used to purify water. For it to work, three key ingredients are required: a plague beast core, some moonfire brew, and a fragment of obsidian.

• "Plague Beast Cores" are otherwise known as Mutation Cores.

• A witch who lives between Britain and Yew may provide helpful adventurers with moonfire brew.

• The collector who lives in New Haven has a rather large store of obsidian fragments.

Once you have all three items in your backpack, using the machine itself gives this message:

You add the required ingredients and activate the contraption. It rumbles and smokes and then falls silent. The water shines for a brief moment, and you feel confident that it is now much less tainted then before.

This gives you a single blue dot of Compassion (assuming you're at the lowest level). Perhaps the machine is a relic of a long forgotten event?
