Vol. 2 - The Grind - Chapter 24
Thomas carried the leather breastplate to his work table and looked it over. He was honestly wondering how he should go about carving the symbol into the leather. There were obviously major differences between metal and leather and he didn't want to risk ruining the leather armor. Thomas looked through the available engraving tools and found one he felt he could use. The sharp end of the tool was bent into a U shape that would allow him to carve a thin trench into the leather. With his tool selected he picked up a mana crystal and ground it into powder then added the oil.
With all of his prep done he flipped the armor over so he could carve the symbol he came up with on the interior and offer it some extra protection. Thomas picked up the tag describing the desired enchantment and checked it out. Thomas arched an eyebrow when the tag read 'stealth'. Looking at the brown armor, Thomas couldn't help but wonder if black or mottled green and brown armor would have been better for stealth than relying on light brown leather with an enchantment. It really wasn't any of his business though so instead he spent his time thinking about what a good image for stealth might be.
After thinking for a while he decided to go with the sci-fi staple of active camouflage. Thomas focused on the image of light and sound bending around a human body and decided the symbol for the enchantment would be a circuit board-like pattern once again. With everything prepped, Thomas dipped the engraver's tool into the oil and mana crystal mix and activated his 'All Seeing Eyes' before he began to slowly and carefully carve out a shallow trench while depositing the mana crystal shards. Thomas spent a good twenty minutes painstakingly carving the symbol into the armor before finishing the work necessary.
