Chapter 137 Smelting. (2/2)

This would mean that either he or Bernir would need to watch over this process and lose hours of their time if he did it the old way With these cards, his assistant could just slide it in and go on his merry way The cards would be small and easy to alter as well

‘First I’ll need to test out these recipes that I have’

The recipes that he was given gave hi of when he needed to place the mana stones on the smelter The time that was required for the metal to stay inside the et other redients to sprinkle before the first crank was turned

‘This will take a while to figure out…’

Roland brought out a notebook to take some notes It was time to test the limitations of this smelter Later in the day Roland finally turned the lower crank and looked at the hot red ot tray

“Hm…”

There it was, his first creation Every h this process had the ‘Aether’ prefix It seemed that the process was successful but hoell this compared to an item imbued with mana stones the old-fashi+oned way only ti skill was not yet fully h the o off was the ‘lesser’ part

“I guess this will be enough…”

It was time for a test and for that he called Bernir over It was not required for theer from this, a paddle would do

Reminiscent of his old days, he had Bernir haot into a paddle wand shape He did the sa sure that the tere of the sa process

When it was finished he was left with almost two identical wands with the wind arrow spell on them The only difference was that one of the wants had a spot for a mana stone on it while the other didn’t

Back on the outside, it was tie which would be easily tested

Roland took aim into the sky and fired off a couple of wind arrows The birds were spooked by the green bolts of energy and quickly scattered to the sides

Soon he discovered that the ly the paddle with the mana stone lost out by about 10

‘The aether wand is probably better saturated, if I placed another mana stone on the other one it would equal out’

Roland was sure that the reason for this was the mana stone in question If he added another one or a tier 2 one then the e the aether one out

It seeical improvement there was still use for the old models While the Aether metals could be further iems that could be destroyed The mana stone variant could be custoot that was made also took on the qualities of the mana stones If he coain bonuses towards that element It was locked to this bonus and would actually orse on opposite elements like ice

This was not really much of a drawback as most weapons stuck to one theme There weren’t that many crazy people like him that infused their weapons with multiple elemental spells

The armor that he had made would mostly be considered a failed item as no one besides him could use it He was someone who lacked any elee pool of mana

Thus he didn’t really care if the mana stones contradicted with each other too much There was always a base quality to each tier of mana stone which should be the same with these aetherpart…’

With the first test being successful it was tielse to create the best ratios He already felt bad about selling a lesser aether iteet a higher tier just yet

Starting off with lesserup to the common ones On these, he would probably remain for quite some time This smelter was a tier 2 item, it was only made from common runes and he would need to study it

Then in tier he rade runes even when he only had a tier 1 class This gave hi the same here

The ti with the new smelter and his favorite alloy, deep steel With ti to improve on the lesser type of aether deep steel

This would also be his main experimentation resource With a lot of scrap metal in his workshop, this smelter was the perfect tool to produce recycled parts

While the young Runes hiround At a certain place, a group of short beardedsome business

“So, how bad do ye think it be?”

“Ah am nae sure, this human Runesmith is not known to e wooden table next to these four dwarves On it there were a couple of bladed weapons, some looked to have ic expert ‘ere, whit do ye think?”

“Ah am an Enchantsmith not a Runesmith, Dunan How should ah know!”

“Just look at it, you old fart!”

The tarves started fighting and finally, the one nasword It was a runic item with a characteristic blue mana stone attached to the bottom of the hilt

“Th’ craftsmanshi+p is amateur at best, mah apprentice could mak’ a better sword than this”

“We know that, how aboot th’ runes?”

“Th’ runes on th’ other hand, th’combination Whit kind of idiot would put such pristine runecraft on a failed product lik’ this?”

The oldthe weapon on the side It was clear that this group of dwarves was discussing the new competition that caht have to ask for some help from th’ union but for noe shall wait”
