Once you have this object (Sparkle cypher - dealing Energy damage while placing Blinded, and Knocked down fettles on its target) you can keep it for yourself or give it to her. You can also make further attempts to fish out other valuables, but to have more chances of fishing out an item, you'll need to rest after each attempt and wait until the next day. At first, you'll fish out a few less valuable things, but if you'll be patient enough, you should finally find the Abtrucense, a Cypher adding a permanent +1 to Might to the hero who've equipped it.
