Snowflakes. Beautiful things, one of nature's miracles. Truly, their gorgeous hexagonal symmetry reflects their atomic construction, the perfection of the micro shining through in the macro.

Unfortunately, I have been tasked with disassembling such beauty, to produce "proper alchemical reagents". Pfah. If I had my way, snowflakes would BE proper alchemical reagents. That said, at least they're not just melting them first. I can get some usable air from the crystal form.
