Blacksmith of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1265. I’m in a whole aisle

As they continued through the isles they came across a few interesting items like arcane kitchen utensils or the equivalent of mana-driven power tools. One even was a magic enchantment engraver, similar to a rotary tool. it also came with various bits that could be swapped depending on the rating of the material used.

Seth himself had come across this problem when working with . As its legend suggested, it was incredibly durable, making it hard to forge but even harder to engrave. The blacksmith had solved that problem by making a set of Adamantium Engraving Tools and heating the finished items to soften it for engraving.

He also tried etching with demonic runes, but he had no acid strong enough to eat away at

Seth was slightly bewildered by the description which seemed a little judgy about Erkaʼs Specialty Shop, but he didnʼt dwell on it. At first glance, the options were nothing overwhelming, neither were the materials it was made of. He didnʼt need the description to recognize .

No, what was special about this mace was the enchantment and the way it worked. The big gem at its hilt that looked like a pommel was called a . Now this alone was nothing new to Seth.

The Tower Master was familiar with using gems as a power source for enchanted weapons. He even knew the practice of using gems with elemental affinities to give the weapon a certain elemental magic damage.

However, where others would usually use circuits to either create an elemental effect from neutral mana or have the elemental effect just an add-on to the circuitʼs power, Craftsman Oakenguard took this a step further with the Lighting Cloud skill.

Toggle Skill. Lightning Cloud:

Every 5 seconds the mace will generate a ball of lightning which will hover in the vicinity of the user

and automatically attack any hostile entity.

The point was, that Oakenguard used the not just as a power source or an added weapon effect, but he had created an intermediate magic circuit that was able to create auto-aiming magic bullets which used the element of the mana it was supplied with.

This meant that something like the created ball lightning, but something like would create fireballs, or the would create rock bullets. Seth could see the potential of this way of thought and how it could be taken even further.

They continued looking and Seth saw a few more items with similar concepts, using an elemental energy source and fusing it with a more abstract magic circuit for a higher concept of enchantment. Since they could leave the elemental part to the energy source, they had more room to fit various different enchantments that acted upon it together.

Noting down the Thunderer and some other enchantment scrolls they continued exploring.
