User blog:Marealso/Anomolies HELP

I am a fairly inexperienced player and have been muddling through as I play without much help. Almost all my scenes have an anomaly that I can’t disperse. How do I get items to disperse? For example, I need a fiery aster to disperse the illusions anomaly and I do not know how to get one without buying some rubies.

Can anyone help me to figure out how to earn a fiery aster?
