relatively intact we should be able to
Fashion around 17 or 18 small round
Shields from it how do you wish to
proceed after some deliberation the
players ultimately decided to create
small round shields. for the
distribution postproduction they opted
for an auction with the highest bidder
receiving the item the players who
contributed to the processing fees would
oversee the auction even those
uninterested in the shields could seize
the opportunity to earn some copper
coins how long will it take to complete
upon hearing the question Hobbit stroked
his beard if all goes well about a month
if not perhaps two months just then a
player named Jang s stepped forward
master I will assist you with the
processing Hobbit shot him a glance not
a chance you are still too inexperienced
return when you have become a first tier
Master Craftsman a te that moment Fong
produced a purplish murky o or do you
know what this mineral is Hobbits
examine the ear closely this is Magic
conducting or suitable for crafting
wands wands the players collectively
paused in astonishment does this mean we
can change our class to Mages Hobbits
burst into laughter Oh My Heavens what a
foolish notion do you truly believe that
possessing a wand grants you the ability
to wield magic to use a wand you must
first have magical power the wand merely
serves as a conduit for Magical energy
naturally a wand cannot exist without a
magic core only with a magic core can
the latent magical energy be channeled
and released in a corresponding magical
attack upon hearing this the players
began to chatter eagerly asking how does
one obtain a magic core how is magical
energy acquired what distinguishes the
attacks released by Magic and Wands how
can one wield magic as Hobbit listen to
their incessant inquiries the lines of
frustration began to multiply on his
forehead do you take me for the
illustrious Hermes I am but a blacksmith
so be gone Hobbit issued a prompt
eviction and the crowd unable to protest

who are you in response luing retrieved
a colorless Crystal orb from his
backpack this is a magic core one that
was previously discovered and sold to me
by an immortal di you possessed the
ability to ruse magical energy into this
core as luing spoke he handed the core
to Hobbit Hobbit took the magic core and
weighted in his hands a blank magic core
devoid of power was not particularly
rare but he chided you have sought the
wrong person while I do possess Rune
forging skills I am not a professional
run mancer and cannot imbue this core
with arcan inscriptions moreover in my
opinion this core can only inscribe
minor Spells at best disheartened luing
retracted the core and turned to leave
thanking Hobbit for the information
however Hobbit uttered a
thought-provoking remark in my view what
lies within you is far more terrifying
than magic it is an existence a h
hundredfold more fearsome than magic
itself it is a chaotic and malevolent
Force straddling the line between order
and disorder existing in the chasm
between the controllable and the
uncontrollable it resembles the highest
ideals of the school of imbalance
perhaps you could learn how to harness
this power at the school of imbalance
the school of imbalance Ling recalled
that it was indeed one of the nine
forbidden schools of thought these nine
schools included necromancy Crimson Arts
transmutation curses graveyard specters
eldrich underworld and imbalance yet
