Master Of None

Remey had not experienced this scene just yet and was amazed by what she was seeing. She could feel the mana condensing in the air and was completely enveloped in it. She knew that having this much mana would be a great help to many of the alchemy processes she performed. In this moment she knew that she would need to look to the spirits for assistance in creating even better potions. "What if I can make a potion higher than a high potion? What would it even be called?" 

This thought consumed her while she watched the elder work with the spirit. The inspiration coming to her as if she had never truly thought of how to make a potion before. The wonder and amazement that came when she had first seen the old master alchemist make a potion was back again with even more strength in her heart. 

The elder was moving with all his speed to push the fire elemental mana crystals in to the core. They were small but not inferior quality on the least. He was also carving out small pieces of the metal so that there would be room to add some smaller crystals shards that he had on his work table. 

Feeling the need for mana the fore spirit pulled more toward the elder who was burning through it much faster. The impressive actions were only made stronger whenWalker noticed that his arms had been modified to pull in the mana faster. This was preventing them from cracking under the pressure like the last time. 

Before they could speak or even move Grey was next to the elder handing him the tools he needed. It was an action that had come from many years of forging with the elder and it was something that would never leave his muscle memory. 

The tools the elder took were familiar since Walker had seen the wandering blacksmith use them. The elder was carving runes. However, these runes glowed with the fire and light elemental mana the spirit was bringing closer. It was an impressive skill town watch them connect and resonate with the core before they were even fully done. It was definitely an effect of having a spirit assisting with the spirit forging process. 

The entire room was solely focused on the actions of the elder that they didn't realize how much time was passing. Even Onyx had woken up and was watching intently. The fluctuations of light elemental mana had caused him to focus and hold himself back from trying to consume it. He knew that even the slightest interference by accident or not could harm the process. 

"That should do it." The elder leaned back and realized he was still full of mana. "You really know how to keep me going. The mana I have is much higher than before. Thank you for the help." He was very happy with the result but wasn't sure how successful it was. 

"The core looks to be holding and absorbing mana but I have no idea if it is viable yet. We usually need to add it to the golem to check but this core needs to be built in to the skeleton along with the mana gems. We won't know until we have it all built."

"Have Walker check with his appraisal skill. He should be able to get some insight for you." Gil spoke up and motioned for Walker to work his magic. 

"He's right. This should be something I can help with. Although, I don't know what my appraisal will tell me so if it says something useless don't get angry at me." Walker said this disclaimer and immediately used his all around appraisal skill. 

'Silver flame dwelling core

The most advanced golem core ever created by the dwarven masters. This core has a fusion of spirit forging and golem core forging. The core has been infused with fire and light elemental mana to create a dwelling for a fire and light elemental spirit. It is currently tuned to a high fire elemental spirit. This core had multiple runes overlayed to create fluid actions and mana flow. This core can assist in pulling mana and directing the golem that it is attached to. The silver flame dwelling core will not be able to function unless used with a golem that can withstand high mana flow.'

Walker spoke out loud and the fire elemental spirit instantly darted to the core. In the blink of an eye it had pushed itself in to the core to see how well it could bind with it. The others watched the runes glow brighter and the slight pull of mana increase before the spirit returned from it. 

"My home is perfect! I want to use it now! Let's make the body!" The fire spirit was enamored with the core and wanted to push Grey forward without any break. 

"Well, I don't need to speak spirit to know that it wants me to get to work. Thanks for telling me that we succeeded. But I can not celebrate until it is part of the golem and works smoothly. I will be heading out, for now, to make sure of that. Please let me have some space." Grey held the core and the fire elemental spirit followed him out of the room. 

" Don't be too deterred by his attitude. That is a sign he is taking this more seriously than before. He won't let himself be happy until the entire golem is finished to perfection. I am the same way but I will stop now and give a little praise. That was amazing work everyone. We have just stepped on to another new path for the future of the dwarves." The elder smiled and began to examine how his arms held up. Walker and the others couldn't help to feel accomplished as well. They all managed to help in some way to get to this conclusion. "Now, how about that bow?"
