Master Of None



'Glimmering sands

The sands from a unique ore. This ore is space elemental ore and is normally hard to grasp. Many people will collect it but find that it is gone before they make it out of the mine. This is due to the shifting space mana within the ore. However, whenever it moves, it leaves behind sands that are full of spatial mana. Therefore, the glimmering sands are able to be used to add very small spatial mana attributes to whatever they are used to forge.'

The first bag of sadness that Walker looked at was enough to make him shake with excitement. This was something that wasn't necessarily perfect, but very good. The glimmering sands were a name that made him expect a light attributed material. But it was space! The glimmering effect was the odd way that the sands were somehow here and also moving in place. 

'Rotten copper

This is copper from a unique mine that existed under the roots of a giant treant for over a hundred years. When The treant perished due to disease, the roots rotted and caused a unique darkness mana and death mana mix to occur. The copper ore was greatly affected. 

This mix of darkness and death mana made the rotten copper impossible to touch without constant healing skills. It is also stored within a healing potion so that it will not decay and degrade whatever it is touching. It is thought to be a useful item to forge certain magical items. However, many blacksmiths can not forge this due to the fact that the manas within will cause them injury. Three have already perished in attempts to forge this single lump of rotten copper.'

This was another very interesting item. Walker was closely examining it within its high health potion. But he noticed that as time tickled on, the potion was being turned a darker and darker color. The potion itself was degrading while they spoke. 

"Fifteen health potions since it made it here." The wandering blacksmith glanced at Walker while he waited for Walker to share whatever else he had discovered about the item. But what really struck him, was that Walker was more curious than afraid of the dangerous materials. Not that the wandering blacksmith showed any of this. He had his own poker face. 

'Root of bursting life

This is a root taken from a certain sapking. It is normally only found on the edges of large islands or isolated places where plants grow without predators. The roots that grow have a condensed natural manas that cause it to have a strong life energy and life mana. If not harvested, it would allow for the tree grown from this root to be ten times larger than it normally would. 

This was harvested by an angel that accidentally found such a place as it was destroyed by natural means. The tidal wave that hit this location caused the destruction of all plants on the same place. Therefore, this plant root would have been destroyed. If not for the angel with sensitivity to life mana, then this would be lost as well. 

The items forged with this or the potions made with this, will have innate life mana within them. Therefore, it would be an ideal healing materials for creating a healing staff or a very good material for a grand healing potion.' 

Now this was another material that truly set everything else aside. The root of bursting life could have been the start of an entire forest. Or it could have given birth to a larger and more unique tree that could have covered an entire continent. Such things were not impossible if the time and nature was enough. 

Unfortunately, the all around appraisal had given Walker a lot more information. The tidal wave that was coming would have destroyed everything that this root could have grown. Because it was harvested, the angel had saved something. However, it could not be planted again. It was impossible to do so. 

That wasn't bad though. Now Walker was able to handle such an amazing thing. He could feel his heart beating in time with the life mana that thrummed through the root of bursting life. He could see that it was more than just what it was and what it would be. Especially since it could add in the eternal orb or even something else. He had half a mind to just make it a dedicated healing staff. 

The idea had not run past him once. He had thought of this over and over. Having a dedicated healing staff would increase his abilities to heal. Regardless of the eternal orb being so versatile, the eternal orb had to take more important jobs at all times. Armor, swords, staffs, shields, it had to be available. A healing staff would take some stress off that. 

But that wasn't the goal right now.  If he did that, then he would lose the chance to add strong life mana to the eternal orb. That was one thing that he wanted to do. He wanted to assure that the eternal orb was able to adapt to more than just natural mana. 

The experiences that Walker had so far were already proof that there was something he was missing. He could not perfectly counter the corrupted mana that was running amok in the world right now with just natural mana. It countered it to some degree but was not strong enough. 

Adding in more manas that existed naturally with some smaller control on his part, should allow him to better handle the corrupted monsters. This thought in mind, Walker looked again at some other materials. 

'Odd leaf

This leaf is something that the world is confused by. Even the world is unsure what manas run through it. Due to the fact that no appraisal skill has properly worked on it, this single leaf has been sealed ina  vial for over twenty years. 

This leaf does not radiate or absorb mana whatsoever. It is able to be used as a material in forging but impossible to control if used in alchemy or other methods of creation. This is due to the unknown manas within being unable to be controlled. 

As a forging material, it is able to move as it naturally would and able to become part of the forged item. Therefore, it would lose and run rampant in mana if it was used within a potion. The ability to control all the manas within the odd leaf may be impossible, but it might cause a unique addition to whatever it is made in to or used to make.'

This was one of the things that Walker was stuck on. A purely green leaf that anyone would lose if it was tossed in toa  pile of leaves from any other tree. There was not a single thing that stood out about it. But the wandering blacksmith was looking at him as if he understood. 

"The appraisal I got doesn't even tell me what it really is. Just that the world finds it mysterious." Walker was frustrated. This had not happened to him ever. Yet here he was. Lost in dessance due to the fact that even the world was confused. 

"Unknown materials appear often. For the first time, it means that it might be born elsewhere than the world." 

The wandering blacksmith spoke after he saw that walker was stuck in internal debate whether to use this or not. But when he had spoken those words, Walker found himself drawn to the odd leaf even more. 

The theory that it might have been from something in between the planes might have made more sense. The fact that they didn't understand anything about the elemental planes didn't help. Yet, it also helped a lot since it meant that it could help Walker in the future. 

"I want to put this as a whole in the center of the eternal orb. If it is related to the manas outside of the world, then I understand that it might help. Plus, it won't be destroyed and I might be able to reshape the eternal orb to remove it of it proves a bad thing." Walker's idea seemed like a good idea. 

It might help him, but it could be dangerous. The odd leaf was already sealed within the glass vial for over twenty years without becoming a pile of dust. It meant that it might survive for a longer time within the eternal orb. But it also would be able to interact with natural manas and other manas being mixed within the eternal orb that Walker used. A chance to study whatever manas and events happened around this odd leave. Walker was taking on his own study project.
