Chapter 223 - Incredible results (1/2)
While one could say that looking for those abilities and spending so many points on them would be a waste, I had yet another reason for doing so.
Taking a look behind me, I could see Eve peacefully resting on the floor, while covered with the simple piece of cloth that used to separate Pengu from us. Not knowing when I would have another chance to safely craft anything, I had to make the best use of the time that I could spend in this room!
But how could I call myself a man, if I put my own benefit over my beloved one comfort? Heating the forge up would most probably cause Eve to wake up, not to speak about moving all the stuff around or even hammering down the blades. With that said, improving the quality of my crafts still took a big part in me taking this decision!
Unable to wait any longer to check out the effects of my newly acquired and improved abilities, I cast the mana forge and threw some common materials like iron, coal and some wood into it.
Separating each of the materials into a diffrent part of the floating orb of the energy in front of me, I focused on the one containing iron. Before everything, I examine it with my blacksmith's eye, only to notice loads upon loads of impurities, bringing the true content of the iron within the iron to a measly ninety percent?
While I knew that be it wrought or cast iron couldn't be compared to pure metal smelted in the big factories back on my home planet, from what I remembered, just by using ancient smelting techniques, one should be able to bring the purity of the iron ingots up to at least ninety-five percent!
Thinking about it, if I was able to discern the true iron elements from all the impurities while retaining complete control over the stuff inside my mana forge, shouldn't I be able to simply separate all the diffrent elements from each other?
Even if I thought about it, it's not like I could do so with a simple thought!
Or apparently, I could…
Before I was able to react in any way, I saw a small flash in the mana orb and as soon as my vision returned, I noticed a slightly smaller orb of iron surrounded by minuscule bits of diffrent colours!
While the list of various elements contained inside the orb didn't change, as soon as I focused my eyes on the biggest chunk, it changed into a clear 100% iron!
I have to admit that taking apart an item to its very physical basis was great, I still had to make sure about one more thing!
Taking out a small chunk of coal from the other orb, I transferred it to the one with iron and started adding small bits of it, increasing the amount bit by bit unless it reached perfectly 1.5%!
