Update 25
Find a bucket, and then try to get as much of the ash as possible into it.
[-][/abbr=] It will take forever. The ash is not very thick, and it's dispersing as you go. Eventually it settles, and it's a trivial task to scoop it up with your hands... but not as flashy.

You are a soul? Show me your spirit and earn the right to speak. Raioyris articulates as best he can to the presence in the sword.
Raioyris probes the voice with his Me.
The voice can hear your thought-speech. You can hear it's--through either Me or Sha. It doesn't seem to matter.
"This... this is my job. You have no part in this." An... answer, at least?
"My spirit belongs to myself alone. Don't get the wrong idea."The ingot you've made seems to be trembling. You spot changes in the shape, angular protrusions crystallizing along its surface.
"Interesting."
"Indeed."Re-anchor the root, then try to bridge the gap between petal section and Kahigan with my Sa Re. If that doesn't work, try pushing the petal section against the Kahigan instead.
You feel along the length of the genes and locate the part to disconnect, then reset the gene from your own memory. You then try the bridge trick: it doesn't have much of an effect on the flower itself. The metals on the body start to flake off, but it's not clear whether this is due to your handling or due to a direct effect of the genetic modification. You could probably hazard a guess.
What works, however, is pushing the petal section against the Anchor Kahigan. Like the root, they attract like lodestones and nails. Excited, you remove your Kahigan and watch as the petal restores itself!
After documenting your results, however, you notice that the whole plant is starting to die off at an increased pace. You check the Kahigan and find that the whole gene has fused to the Anchor, though not permanently. You peel it off, but the withering plant stays like it is. It seems positively dead.
"...but I didn't hear you claiming it being impossible."
Ready to proceed on guided tour.
"Perhaps not. It is a worthy field of study."You proceed through the marble garden, and almost get stepped on by a giant golem, meters tall, appearing out of nowhere from crouching inside a juniper tree. The lumbering giant, stupid as it may be, seems like it has half the galaxy of printed knowledge on it. The surface is inscribed with literally thousands of characters, and you hear a rumbling from within, almost as if its entire insides are flowing like molten blood.
"Ah, a great place to start! These golems are caretakers. Much cheaper than gardeners. They are made of marble, which actually shares some genes with human bone, and so it became possible to decode its genetics about 30 years ago. You'll find much older models around campus, probably hundreds of years old, but this one is much more advanced. Much more. The body is explicitly designed for motion, and so it's less clumsy than an old golem of equivalent size. The old ones would always shatter after too much use."
