Master Of None

Walker couldn’t help but fall victim to the enthusiasm that the fire spirit had. He knew that it wanted the best possible dwelling and the fact that grey wanted to make the golem core its’ dwelling only strengthened the enthusiasm. Now that they were actually going to forge it he would need to be careful that he didn’t use all of his mana so that he had some for helping Gil next. 

”Hurry up and get that fire going! I want to hotter than dragons’ breath!” The elder used this phrase commonly but Midnight seemed more interested in it since she literally had a dragons breath. It was very amusing to her and Walker looked over seeing her snorting a little which he knew was her laugh. He had to take all of his strength not to call her cute in that instant because the fire spirit was waiting for him to help.

”Alright, you can bring the fore elemental mana here and I will start to manipulate it. Sound like a plan?” Walker had the feeling that the fire elemental spirit would much rather be the one taking full control but it was better at gathering the fire elemental mana than actually controlling it. That was one difference he had learned between the spirits and the battle spirits other than the fact that battle spirits created a real physical core and could perish instead of just returning to the mana they had condensed from. 

”Condense the mana! Condense it and add it to the fire!” The spirit already knew the best method to add more mana without losing some to the air in the process. 

”Then that’s what we will do,” Walker spoke, and no sooner had the spirit dissipated in to an invisible mana form. However, he could still feel it behind him manipulating the fire elemental mana in the air. 

The fire mana came at them from all sides. A great deal of it had been stagnant around them from the many forging activities. The fact that dwarves couldn’t readily manipulate mana was clear since they could have easily taken advantage of it to craft more items. 

When the mana drew near, Walker raised a hand and began to manipulate the mana. He felt that it was loosely gathered around without any direction. He wanted to just guide it to the flames of the forge before him, but that wouldn’t increase the heat as much as they needed. Instead, he listened to what the spirit had said and begun to will the fire elemental mana to condense and gather. 

He imagined it similar to the fire bolt spell. Yet, he was also trying to make it different from the fire bolt spell. This was not something that was made for attacking but instead it was for forging. He also knew that the things being forged would need the light elemental mana as well since that was what the flame light silver had for its own affinities. 

Walker felt the air around and could sense the faint traces of light elemental mana. They were closely nit to the fire elemental mana because of their similar existence in nature. The fire had given off some light elemental mana and so were the crystals in the ceiling that lit the entire room. These two sources were enough for Walker to gather and condense the light elemental mana with the fire elemental mana. 

When this started to condense, Walker realized that what he was doing was very similar to when he created the different orbs of light. Upon realizing this he was able to more clearly envision the condensed mana orb he was creating. The fire elemental mana and the light elemental mana coming together to form an or that could heat a forge was a very good skill to have and also a good way for them to quickly heat the materials. 

The fire spirit felt the two elemental manas click together and proceeded to pull more fire elemental mana towards Walker. The mass of condensed mana increased constantly while the elder brought the mold in to position. It was perfect for a core to be suspended in while molten metal would be able to evenly flow around it and bond with the core. This was a way to protect the core from damage and also strengthen it to hold more rune carvings giving the golem more ability. 

”How’s that fire goi-” The elder was caught in frozen awe as he realized that there was a white hot ball of condensed mana formed in front of Walker. 

’The skill forge orb has been taking from the sun forge system. The skill forge orb has been automatically learned through user action and fire elemental spirit assistance. 

Forge orb- 20 mana per hour

The forge orb is created from ambient fire and light elemental mana. This orb can be used directly to enhance the flames of a forge or directly heat materials needed for forging. This skill also adds or takes the mana within it or the materials to influence the final result. Upon adding elemental mana the forge orb can take it and disperse it to the air or condense it. The elemental mana that makes up the forge orb can be added to the materials as long as it is not an opposing elemental mana that would cause the materials to disintegrate. This skill requires constant mana from the user every hour to maintain control and protect from dispersing.’

Walker was unable to read the system description but instead felt everything click in to place. When this happened he looked at the forge fire and pushed the forge orb forward. It drifted toward the forge and rested in the center of the flames. The reaction was instantaneous. The flames glowed white got and nearly erupted from the forge. 

”Now those are some real forge fires!” Grey saw this and couldn’t hold his amazement. He wanted to forge in those flames as soon as possible.
