I have attempted to experiment with the last remaining boots which were outside Necrovion.
I have managed to extract of their essence and distilled it into a bottle, I believe, however, an odd side-effect doth occur upon consuming it. It seems that it doth make one significantly lighter - presumably this is how the boots did float - however, it also seems to make one significantly less sturdy, including of one's being and of one's armour also. Still, the desired effect persists. I have replaced of the bottle at the Howling Gates.
The Lorerootian Guards did think it a good idea that their foes should fight without statistics or armour, and have requested a similar flask, which I have readily provided.
