Master Of None

The sword that had been brought to them had a strong amount of air elemental mana around it, but that wasn't the important part. The important part was that the blade was slightly thinner than the other spell swords weapons thus far. This would mean they needed to be more delicate in their chiseling and especially when they made the hollow spot inside.

"Here is my plan." Walker got the attention of the slightly panicked crystal mage, "We both work on the shaping from the crystal here. Once we get to the fine details I will trust you to smooth it out and improve it. I will prepare the elemental mana and when we are both ready to make the hollow inside we will proceed together."Â

The crystal mage nodded his head while he listened intently, "We will get the mages around to provide the condensed elemental mana but I will fully focus on balancing it with my grand elemental manipulation skill. I can't see any other way to make it work exactly the way we want it to."Â

The elemental mages around heard Walker's plan and were eager to assist. If all they needed to do was focus on adding the mana they could make sure they sent even purer elemental mana to make a better quality crystal magic word.

The spell swords had been completely distracted and came to watch the two work yet again. There was a lot of pressure on this one since it was infinitely harder to make but also for someone expecting a high quality. Mentioning the standing of the elf inquisition would just push them over the edge. Instead of focusing on the pressure the two started to chip away at the crystal.

Walker felt that the leech crystal was pulling some of his mana while he was in contact making him slow down. This simple fact would make both of them work slower and more precisely but also need breaks to drink mana potions.Â

Luckily, Alma saw this and was standing by to use her skill when necessary. However, she wanted to use the skill when they were adding mana to the crystal magic sword so that the process had a high chance of success.Â

"Watch out for that dent there." Walker was working when the crystal mage warned him of a slight blemish. If Walker hadn't seen it and chipped in to it the entire crystal could have cracked. The crystal mage expertly saw this and moved to smooth out the issue. Walker couldn't help but be impressed all over again.

The shape of the sword gradually appeared while the pile of leech crystal slivers grew. The shape of the sword came out more rough than before but Walker attributed this to the tougher crystal overall. They two had drained a significant amount of mana at this points and Walker was happy to have a moment to refresh before the crystal mage would finish off the finer details.

While he drank a mana potion he gathered the elements mages who all had their own elemental mana crystals to use when they channeled the elemental man in to the sword. "Remember that there is already existing mana within the leech crystal. It could disrupt your goals." The earth elemental mage wasn't just thinking about the earth elemental mana that would naturally be in the crystal but also the personal mana absorbed from them as they worked.

Walker was glad to be told this and made sure it was at the front of his mind while he explained his part in the plan. He wanted to make sure that the manas were not being pushed in to the crystal sword at improper rates. He knew that the opposing elements might try and force the others out and cause an explosion of crystal shards and elemental mana.Â

His goal was to get the elements in a rotation like the mouldable crystal ball and stay in balance. If he managed this then the elements wouldn't be at risk of breaking the hard crafted sword. There was also the benefit that the elemental s[pell sword should have a better ability to refill the mana as they used their attacks.

"That should be the last detail. Let me get my mana up before we make the hollow portion." The crystal mage was efficient as ever and had made the blade straight and sharp. The hilt and handle were nearly exact replicas of the wind elemental sword that had been brought to them.

The darker color of the crystal was still prevalent, but Walker could already see the clarity in the thinner blade. This made him worry about the strength of the structure but also wonder if the earth elemental mana would help make it tougher or not. It would be faced with its' opposing elemental mana and might not have the same effect.

Alma stationed herself behind Walker while the elemental mages each reached out a hand to the crystal sword. This was by far the most involved the mages had been with each other in an experiment in years.  This was another amazing occurrence topping the previous ones. Not a single elf in the area would believe the things that had happened if the hero himself hadn't been involved.

The crystal mage finished off their mana potion and placed their hands on the crystal sword as well. The mana flowed out of him and started to change the inside of the crystal sword. The hollow portion slowly formed and made the blade look fragile like thin ice over a pond. Everyone breathed slowly and carefully as they were afraid it could break at any moment.

"Start adding the elemental mana now." The crystal mage gave the call to begin and all of the mages and Walker began their skills. The focus rose to the extreme leaving no room for distraction.
