After letting Delair see his clones the following day and continuing her training while watching her through them, his main body sat a little to the side, focusing instead on the new material he had to work with, the voidstone he had created with Jake.
It had already developed the condensate around it, the fabric of reality thickening in the material’s presence and waiting to be experinted on, or at least, more than it already had been. He still had the researchers' various results kicking around his head but he wanted to experience a few of the results with his own two hands, starting with scratching at it with a knife and feeling the outer layer cut.
So it is pretty soft which reduces its usefulness a little. Also ans that if I choose to enchant on it then I’d need a protective layer on the outside, though I can think of a few potential ways around it.
Which started with removing all of the surface layer to claim so of the stone within, looking at the black material as he once more tested its durability and finding sothing significantly tougher, to the point that he had no complaints in that regard, even if his next tests of enchanting on it didn’t yield close to the sa results.
After applying too much, the material broke as he would expect of most things, with it reacting like he’d expect of any sort of regular matter.
Which is definitely a point for the surface layer not being regular matter, even if they end up being wrong about it being condensed reality. So how would I use it from there? And just as importantly, what sorts of enchantnts would suit it?
That was another round of testing, one that yielded what he felt was the expected result, even if it was good to confirm it. Best performance ca from space enchantnts, telling him the direction he’d be going with the material as an idea for an enchantnt already entered his head, one he was almost certain would be enough to break into legendary as he got to work.
The first thing he did was take the voidstone and shaped a thin strip of it into a concave ring, letting the hollow of it fill with the secondary material until he was sure it was done and placed his enchantnts down, not paying the regular attention to how much he believed it could hold before breaking and instead moving to just place down all he could, creating a density of enchantnts that would make it look like he’d simply placed down the entirety of a skill in the mana sense of most people.
Once that was done he inserted a few small, set mana crystals to provide power before covering the ring with another layer of voidstone and then further covered it in mythril, with that final layer preventing more space from condensing around it with his newest ring complete, the second item to make it to the middle grade of legendary.
God, I really am so good at everything I do. He smiled to himself as he admired his work, right before testing it out.

Slipping the ring on his finger, he first materialized a hamr in his hand before activating the ring, watching as the hamr vanished and demonstrated that at least half of the ring’s purpose was functioning properly, leaving only the other half as he directed his thoughts to it and felt the ring link to his mind, revealing its contents as he prompted it to once more take out the hamr, leaving it to appear in his hand.
Yep, the world is not ready for to have new magic materials to play with. Once a few more are properly understood I’m going to go wild. Plus with the enchanting density possible on voidstone, it ans that I should be able to use it to carry a lot of the density I’m going to need for Inux. God, if I don’t die then things are going to go crazy.
The spatial ring he created wasn’t unlimited, he’d only be able to carry about a cubic ter of stuff with it, though not exactly those dinsions but instead volu, aning he’d be able to store plenty in there for himself, not to ntion letting others do the sa.
He was already making more with the volu of stone he had, assembling more rings for the people in his life given how useful they were sure to be to everyone and thinking on how to fill them.
He was probably just going to shove his full of food and potions for the coming invasion, while for Thera it would act as a convenient storage for both staves and armours. Neither Sonya nor Falk were actually going to have to deal with the invasion points themselves so they could figure out what to put in them themselves and as for his friends, he’d just add so general defensive items and potions for when he sent them over.
His various homunculi began moving with those thoughts, all of them beginning to make the items he’d need to enchant on as his main body was left to its own devices, thinking about what to do next.
Only a few of the other materials had imdiately caught his eye but there were problems with all of them.
He wanted to make more faithstone so badly. A material that was able to rip the faith from the gods via the people they had a connection to was inherently interesting to him and begging to be played with, with the only issue of that being that it would be hard to test without stealing so from the many gods he knew and got along with.
And then there was the final one he’d looked at, the one that seed entirely unreactive to mana after its creation. Even if he couldn’t work it himself, he had ideas for it he would love to test, with the stopping factor for it being the overwhelming level of mana he’d need to make it work. He wouldn’t need to just get Thera’s help in filling up his soul, he’d need her constant help to get any volu of the stuff to make it worth working with or experinting on and even then likely not getting enough to make anything truly interesting. The cost was just way too high.
Which is just such a waste. He complained to himself. Sure, I could take a couple weeks and make a bullet or two of the stuff and it will probably get easier if I get another level of material manipulation but I don’t think I’m going to be getting to the point where I’d even be able to try forging sothing with it. Ugh, so la. Maybe I’ll manage to find a workaround eventually or maybe I’ll be able to find the will to chip away at it slowly but for now, it’s a skip. Which doesn’t leave much.
Feeling the limits of what he couldn’t help but consider the most exciting options, Ben moved on and materialized another he’d seen that increased in density with every bit of mana that passed through it and did his best to content himself with experinting with that, all as the day passed.
