"So we will need the fire elental spirit to help again? How will you spirit forge when the core is mostly done?" Walker wasn't sure what the process would be once the core had cooled. He thought that the fire would be needed to forge but not that the core would be cooled already.
"We need to add the elents mana crystals and shape the core properly. As it is now there are so rough surfaces that will hinder the runes we carve." This made more sense with the elders' explanation. If they needed to inlay the for elental crystals in to the tal it would make more sense. They would need to carve and push the crystals in to place using multiple tools and a lot of mana.
"Also, when we say cool we an holding its shape cool. But soft enough to mold and manipulate still." Grey realized that the elder had left so things to assu and that Walker would be better off with more specific information since he was absorbing everything he heard.
"Oh, I see. But would it be better if you could cool it faster and then work on it?" Walker was wondering if the cooling was important to the process or if it was just sothing they were forced to wait on.
"Actually, if it was cooled faster it would be better. The more mana that it retains while cooling the better. But if we add heated oil or water to it to cool it then we would warp the tal with uneven cooling." This worry was one that any blacksmith had and Walker understood well. If the item warped then it could be seen as a failure due to the weaknesses it would have.
"I think I can help with that." Rey walked in to the room and stood in front of the mold. "I was teaching the alchemists how to make my basic potion and decided that the older one could join in the alchemy guild when I received a quest to rush here and help with a bow. Now you are making so round ball and can't even cool it properly."
Rey had a skill that would allow her to cool the potion she was making. However, it was a skill that cooled the item she was directing the skill at. It would pull the heat out of it without directly removing elental mana. It was a skill intended for potions but easily could be used in other situations.
Rey held out her hands and began to use her mana on the skill. The room was instantly pushed down in temperature. Midnight shot her head up to find that it was Rey that was making it colder and held her growl back. If it had been soone else she would have been annoyed because she was enjoying the heat that Walker and the fire spirit had made.
The group watched as the mold cooled and the elder kept an eye on it. He was sure that this was so form of perfect cooling that they had not ever had before. "This is an alchemy skill? Why don't our alchemists use this in the forges? They would be much more useful." The elder wanted to force the alchemists to the forges imdiately but was stopped by Walkers' words.
"This skill is for cooling cauldrons usually. Rey is just applying it here but I recomnd you let the alchemists continue to be alchemists. They might not all have the sa skills as Rey and they will most likely beco part of the alchemy guild when it forms. I would recomnd when that happens you put in a request to work with the guild." Walker wanted to help Rey with the future bonds the guild would need to work efficiently.
"Alchemy guild? Why would anyone need that?" The elder was used to the fact that there were different dical systems that didn't put weight on potions here in the dwarf city.
"There is way more use to potions outside the city. It is a difference in culture, yes, but one that puts alchemy above dical practices when it cos to healing. I believe that the two could co together but in the end, that would an the dwarves need to work with the other races more." Su heard the conversation and chid in.
"Alright stop!" Grey yelled for Rey to stop cooling the mold and jumped to start opening it. He soon revealed a rough orb of reflective silver tal that looked to be burning in flas constantly even without being directly next to them. The small dots of flint stone in the tal made it appear rough if looking from an angle which was what Grey would need to smooth out.
"Watch this. I will show off a little." Grey was already pulling so tools to smooth the surface out. "I will pass this on to you master in just a mont." Grey was fast and precise to remove the larger pieces of additional tal as the elder sat down in front of his working space. He had multiple tools at the ready and the first spirit hovered around him.
"It looks like everyone is ready. Rey, just in case. Do you have so mana potions with you?" Walker knew that greeting Rey and asking what she would be doing would co later. At the mont they were busy and needed to focus on the task at hand.
"Of course I do. Who do you think I am. I am always ready." Rey pulled a few low tier mana potions from her bag and placed them on the work table. She didn't want to use the high tier ones just yet since she wanted to reserve them for Gil's quest.
"Alright, I smoother the core and it's ready for the spirit forging process." Grey handed the smoothed and even more reflective orb to the elder. The fire spirit was already pulling more elental mana towards them for the elder.
