Riddle

The following riddle was introduced to help solving the vendor recipe:

THE RIDDLE TO UNLEASH

Three to wield, pure and fine,
Eclipse eternal to align
Exquisite full and true.

Three to save, risk reward,
Two exalted, one encored,
Counting all in equal due.

Three to help, each matured,
All beloved by the third,
All imperfect sums of two.
