I'm wanting to introduce the weapon Desert Wind into our campaign, but the first legacy ritual involves exposing the blade to intense heat (either lava or the Elemental Plane of Fire). Any suggestions on where I might be able to fit this?
We're currently going through the Kopru ruins in Flood Season. I'd like to figure out a way to do the ritual before the next chapter starts. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

Well I believe there is a Red Dragon in "Zenith Trajectory". If you don't mind bending the rules a little you could have it use its breath weapon on the person holding the weapon. Its fiery breath could activate the ritual.
If I recall correctly, in earlier editions random mundane weapons that survived a dragon's breath would sometimes come away with magical qualities...

Consider the fact that the characters are currently venturing through a section of underdark beneath a volcano. I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to add a small side-trek to a series of caves with exposed lava. Perhaps there is a minor elemental rift that is destabilizing the cavern, and only by conducting the ritual and imbuing Desert Wind with the elemental energy will close the rift and prevent a potential volcanic disaster.
What kind of catastrophe would trigger powers in Alakast?
