"The plan is to embed them in the blades' tang, so the wood would grow over it and that should be the strongest fit I can possibly get. Before finishing the forge at least." Solvi explained, carving small indentations on the tang of the blades in intricate patterns.
Of course, Eldrian wanted to ask what the patterns were going to do. However, he had learned that Solvi would share what she was willing to share and no amount of asking was going to increase what she would share.
Around 2 hours later, she felt happy with the mana crystal patterns. Starting with the back adamant blade, she pushed it against the wood. As she did, the wood slowly morphed. Taking in the tang and growing root-like veins that wrapped around the tang.
She repeated this at the top, giving the spear a strange appearance. As if someone had used a rope in the form and color of the wood to tighten the blades' connections.
For reference to the bench press, the average for fit-people (men) are to press 1,5x their body weight. While Eldrian's weight has never been stated, given 80-100kg, it means he should be pressing between 120-150.
The 200kg is his conservative estimation, and he has no idea what his real limit would be. He also has never really tried bench pressing.
