Getting obsidion is easy. If you have lots of mana, the spells "shake down" and "replicate" and at least one piece of obsidion you can make your own.
Step 1) give the obsidion to someone in your party other than you
Step 2) tell that person to wait
Step 3) cast shake down on that person untill they drop the obsidion
Step 4) bring the person back into the party
Step 5) cast replicate on the obsidion that is on the ground

The shake down spell must be used to make the object replicatable. It helps if you are near Alaric to fill your mana and if the person you give the obsidion to has nothing in their inventory.

Interesting. Have you tried that on other items, such as the 'gator boots or Sword of Heroes?

Replicating items is a powerful, but well-known technique. My particular variant can be found at my website, or more specifically [url="http://"http://www.macclassics.com/cythera/tricks/rDouble.htm"]here[/url].

Ahah! It's obviously been too long since I played, I'd forgotten about all that.

I have tried to use the replicate spell on the sword of heros, the gator boots and the crystal balls. In each attempt it said the itom was too powerful. The technique does however work on dimonds. I recently purchased the house.

TECHNO CHOCOLATE

As Slayer's site says, some things are too big to replicate using the spell. Generally, you need to be able to fit 255 of them in a crate for it to work (not that you have to use 255 in a crate, just that you could without using the container within container technique).

Quote

Eioneus can't enchant any weapon above 640 obsidian, that is, one less enchantment than the sword of heroes. As said, replicate is probably the easiest way to get money to buy obsidian, but all is not lost if you spurn magic or haven't found enough library books. One can gather obsidian naturally in the Lands End volcano (630 times walking back and forth with obsidian coming in and out of vision, remember to pick it up every 255 times). Or my favorite is going into the flax trade business, but ware that you don't get too greedy, because Cythera crashes somewhere around 17000 bales. This way is probably the most painfull, but unlike the others it has something close to exponential growth.
