After Shadow wins three tournaments stages in the second province (or Act II), Sensei explains to Shadow about how people are grateful to him as he rose against the demons. Sensei goes on to say that there is a blacksmith who in gratitude, offers to readily forge enchantments for Shadow on his equipment if Shadow can only obtain more of the Shadow Orbs and then directs him to the shop. Shadow is then given a free simple enchantment on his armor. Later, Sensei also instructs Shadow to use his power to invoke the Eclipse, which can grant him more Shadow Orbs.
