Master Of None

"Need help?" The fore spirit flitted about and looked at the dormant fore elemental crystal. It was sure that it could help but was more interested in the fact that it would have another fire spirit to speak with. It was clearly excited.Â

"Yes, please. A little help pulling in the mana for the dormant spirit would be perfect." Walker could only smile until he heard Midnight taking a deep breath. When he turned she released more golden flames forcing the forge to return to the previous roaring state it was in before the ice spirits' frost had cooled it.Â

"That's the way. I will call for more coal too!" The elder realizes that he could have more coal set to cause the fire to burn higher than before and started to shout out of the room. The ruckus started again. The dwarves must have relayed the message ever faster than before since the forge fire burst up even more again. The dwarves in the furnaces were working hard.Â

"Leader, Gil. You two will need to split up." Su was sure of this and her reasoning was easy to see. "The dormant light spirit and the fire spirit are both starting to awaken."Â

Gil rushed to Remey's side and started to pull the mana out of the elemental crystals faster. Walker on the other hand realized that the light elemental mana that often came with fire elemental mana must have been enough to push the dormant light spirit to awaken.Â

"I will have this covered Walker. I feel like the other spirit will still awaken first since the fore is pretty hot. Well, I can barely feel it anymore with Midnight's gift." Gil was very glad for the ice jade since he had been constantly sweating against the forge fire. Walker on the other hand was watching the ice elemental spirit nearly fasten itself to the ice jade since it was the coolest thing in the room. It was easy to assume that the ice jade pendants were going to be its favorite sport to hang out while with everyone.Â

The fire spirit didn't pay any attention to anyone else but for the dormant spirit. Remey was very cautious to watch it pull the mana from the air and couldn't help but notice that with every motion, the forge fire would shift as well. "I want to be able to help'¦" She mumbled slightly but could only watch. This was the worst part for her since she couldn't assist at all.Â

"While they do their magic and whatever, I have an idea for you and these gloves. And knuckles in your pockets." The elder had easily seen the pieces of the knuckles Remey would wear to fight along with the gloves she wore. "They may already have been modified a few times. But how about I modify them again."Â

"How do you want to modify them? Will they even survive another adjustment?" Remey knew that if a gear or anything was modified too many times that it would end up weaker and weaker. Eventually, whatever was modified would break or fall apart leaving the wielder without it.

"Now this time. This is a better way. I have a blue print that most of the brawlers will use. Especially in pub fights. They are gloves like yours as the base. But they had metal inlays and runes attached so that you can clip on different knuckles. It is very useful when fighting tough golems or monsters like shadow ants that are weak to light affinity metals."Â

"Wait, shadow ants? Clip on? How does that work?" Remey was still keeping an eye on the slowly glowing and changing dormant fire spirit. But she was interested in what shadow ants were and how clip on knuckles would help her and not just fall off.Â

"Ah, shadow ants are darkness affinity monsters. Very weak to light element metals and weapons. But they hang out here and there in colonies around the caves. Most of the time they just hunt monsters until they clear them out. We will exterminate them with golems but they will always come back. Insect type monster and all." The elder waves this off. He would rather speak about the clip on part of Remey's confusion.Â

"The gauntlets we make here for our brawlers have a glove base fitted with some reinforced metals and runes. They let the main damaging part attack and hold using a small amount of mana. Then you can change the materials of your knuckles constantly. Need a water element? Use the frigid steel knuckles. Need alight elemental? Use the holy silver. There are many more options. But you look like you could use it." This was bait for her. Remey knew this. But this was an offer she didn't think she could refuse.Â

"I will take it. But I want the fore spirit to awaken first." The elder smiled. Thus was exactly what he wanted. If the fore spirit wanted a dwelling gear he would take the mana crystals that modified Remeys' equipment and use them to enhance the gloves to another level and spirit forge them. He would get to forge more and Reney would still get her bonded friend.

"He wants to spirit forge again. But it's a good idea since it will help you bond with the fore spirit." Walker listen in and asked Onyx to send this message for him so that the elder could continue to feel that he was sly and sneaky. It wasn't a problem since the elder was just finding a way to craft more.Â

"Wait, so that means the base of the gloves would be fire elemental oriented? How will it work with water clip on knuckles?" Remey found the problem instantly. The opposing manas might not want to work well.

"I use runes to make sure their manas are separate. It's a safety aspect dwarves worked out years and years ago." The elder just shook it off and started to prepare materials. Remey would have asked more questions if the fore spirit hadn't started to awaken.Â
