BS7 - Prologue
Hearthflames wrapped around the spearhead and shaft, searing and suffusing the metal with Jake’s unique mana and creating runes on the surface. Spreading out his flames, he used Manaweave Reinforcement to optimize the object’s integrity, and maximize the mana’s effectiveness.
Smiling, he marveled at the spear as he held it in front of him. If they had this spear back during their first Trial, their Mana Blades would have cut through the dark elves and their armor like a hot knife through warm butter.
They didn’t have access to Epic quality items at that time, and yet now this was something Jake and Ophelia could mass produce.
Stowing the spear away, he worked on another. The flames of his hearth quickly coalesced into the runes once more, Jake easily able to complete the enchantment rapidly with his proficiency. The Hearth of the Refuge quickly refilled his Hearthflames, allowing him to use them almost indefinitely, just like normal mana.
He moved on to some more difficult materials. Qi-infused metals were now something Ophelia could make, and so Jake added some demonic runes of sharpness and cold to some swords. Making them for the Blizzardblade Clan, the many Tier 1 warriors would benefit from his creations.
“Aw, come on! That can’t be right, you must be cheating!” A child’s voice entered his ears, his focus being interrupted.
“Shove it, Blaze, we won fair and square! Just because you don’t like birds and flying units doesn’t mean using them is cheating!” It appeared Nora, Tanda’s raven beastkin daughter, was not happy with Blaze’s antics like usual.
“Birds are lame! Even Aunty Bree says so!”
“You take that back!”
