Frost Seal
The musician beneath the well awards the base pipa. Forging its illusion form requires a separate seal. No fight or pickup spot has been confirmed for the seal. The shop checks the associated weapon’s forging state to decide whether the material can be sold. Neither opening the shop nor forging the weapon is a confirmed way to receive the first material. The normal starting inventory does not include this material. No verified quest reward grants it. Loading a save or entering the next cycle has not been shown to supply a missing copy; the first acquisition remains unknown. First acquisition is still unknown. The enemy and encounter rewards checked do not grant this material simply for owning the weapon. No random drop pool has been confirmed for farming it.
