Dra Kalinor
The sword of the blue Star had become an almost crowning achievement that opened the door for her. The results were met with more work which put her back in the heart of dra kalinor scouring the workshop for the proper tools to begin her next project.
It was one part anticipation and one part elation she had proven that she was capable of what she promised and now she had some level of expectation put upon her.
Those that wanted above and beyond mere steel could come to her to perform her miracles, she was more available than the master and could achieve very good results with her work.
Often simple technique and proper evaluation of wants, allowed her to tackle mountains. It was nevertheless hard to overlook the importance of the right reagent for the job.
It was once again another short-term goal for an interesting item. The commission was for a long sword that could do harm to a ghost, the requests so far had been simple enough.
Although it required time and study to figure out what would be proper. As she studied the anomaly of ghosts, she stumbled upon spiritists. The reagent in mind was soulmist, a unique residue that spiritists created to bribe, defend, or harm ghosts with.
The Isur seemed happy with the choice, but now that she knew what she needed the quality was detrimental in the overall results of the final product. Therefore she sought the best that she could get and that is where a major cost came into affect. The mage wire paint derivative was also substantially expensive. Typically in the mage craft values of one, run around 800 Mizas, However the cost of high-grade soul mist and a tiny vile of spiritist blood doubled the price pushing it upwards of 1,600 coin. Needless to say the person fronting the tab was not happy, however Isurian woman assured her client that it would be well worth the cost.
Practical application required being able to see your intended target. Without the additional reagent for an added property the sword may harm a ghost but how could one fight what they could not see?
For a single weapon the hefty price was immense, but what it could do in the hands of a skilled swordsman would be priceless. A small token, when compared to a larger picture if the item did as intended.
It was a key principal, you get what you pay for. |

Her hand went for the brush and she dipped it in the paint she brought it to the pedestal and made her oval this would be magecraft circle and within it the longsword would sit. The circle enveloped the object creating an all encompassing perimeter.
When finished the golden hued paint would trail off creating a smaller circle that went towards the tip of the sword this circle was connected to the primary mage craft circle.
When this was complete third circle was made This one would be found on the opposite end of the spectrum towards the bottom of the swords handle connected to the primary circle each smaller circle was then filled in
Each Reagent was carefully assessed as well as the sword, she wanted to make sure that the cold iron was of at the very least good quality. She tended to be very fussy about these sorts of minor details, Sometimes even the slightest defects made the item incapable of being transfused with foreign essence. Novices that attempted such things often found that trying to harmonize a level of stability in such items often fell pray to the project losing control and becoming unstable and the results were often catastrophic as the structural integrity of the compromised item collapsed upon itself with a thunderous boom.
She figured out how she was going to go about this the first thing that would be used would be the blood of the spiritist so that way she could Draw out a property from the blood that would allow the user to be able to see ghosts, Much like any other spiritist could. This was a tremendous advantage to have, to be able to see what you're trying to fight.
The next step would be the transfusion of soul messed into the blade itself to make the sward capable of dealing harm to ghosts
It was all so very easy to say however she was looking at almost 10 days worth of work to get this from point A to point B.
She was busy now organizing her equipment being able to find precisely the right instrument when she need it was a difference between steering the item back on course and having it go awry, Without having any access to knowing how to shield she felt that the best course of action was to take preventative measures to not allow the problem to escalate into the need for needing shielding.
This was of course her own belief but there was some merit behind it. |

The first day was spent arranging the mage craft lenses so that she may view the transition of essence from the Reagant through the mage craft circle that she had painted around the mage craft glyph that was in the very center of the pedestal, To her being able to view how the flow of essence Was happening was in of it self critical procedure. It allowed her to quickly assess the situation before it went out of control, It also gave her the ability to see how much essence was actually being transferred from the reagent into the main item. A twist here and a crank there a little bit of an adjustment to the left then a little bit of an adjustment to the right that was pretty much how Sahanas first day was spent on the project
Even after she was finished making her adjustments and setting the equipment into place she still would nitpick and fuss moving the item a smidgen then moving it back a smidgen until at last she settled on the proper placement
When she was finally happy with her arrangement she took the time to look through the lenses just to see how well she would be able to view the circle and the individual objects.
Taking the time to use the equipment before she proceeded to work on the item was one of those minor although infinitely important aspects of her craft.
The world mage was always in a state of preparation taking preemptive measures to minimize risk. There was always the chance that something could go wrong she always took the time to go over what she had done to help prevent the problems from occurring but there were also times where it came off as if she was in a state of paranoia |
