Chapitre 40: How to Runecraft.
She took out an ordinary-looking stick. "Due to the wooden nature of the stick, I don't have to worry about a core. Every creation needs a core that needs to correspond with the intended element. This stick will become a basic dust blower. It's been picked from the common Red Alder. A pine tree. There is nothing special about it hence one can only do so much. If, per se, I had a beaver's hart and a cut gem of jade I could boost the stick to be able to perform more advanced flow arts. The magical essence of an earth-based creature whose hart tends to have the most significant natural energies. So they tend to make excellent cores. You need a vassal for those core energies, hence the aforementioned requirement of green, in this case, the jade gem. Crystalline based material tends to be the best source to store energies and become a full core."
"Why specifically green? Why can't I use magite?"
"Because Magite isn't attuned to natural energies based on the element. It's neutral, which also means it can't tap into any of the elemental energies of the world. This is where basically a color-coded gem comes into play. The purer the gen the better. There shouldn't be any impurities. Some items already have the required prerequisites, like this stick. Unfortunately, due to that fact, we are creating a lesser tool. Easy and cost-effective, but is extremely limited. Now, engraving is basically using a method to craft in the runes. We could use the flame but it's not a hundred percent effective. It the easiest method or you could chip in the runes. It's much more time consuming but highly effective. The flame method can be effective as long as the burning goes deep enough. Any question?"
Annixon shook his head.
"Ah yes before I forget. The runes are done in such a way that it compensates for the individual. Finding the right runes for that is where the real trick comes in. The tool I will be making will basically only be usable by me. Certain everyday use tools, like for example the stove lighter uses extreme elemental cores, like the Hellfire flower making it universally usable, but only a petal is usually used. Now I remember you claiming that you have a perfect memory. I would love to see that in action. There are over thirty-five thousand runes in existence and still counting."
She grabbed her engraving tool and very tiny runes started to burn into the stick. After half an hour she puts it down, "This is a piece of crap, but you get the gist. Now you have to find the combination of runes that works for you."
Annixon shook his head, "You know that book is a bunch of overblown drivel."
"How dare you. That was a renowned author who went out of his way over his entire life span to gather it all."
"Mmm, you seem to misunderstand me. I am saying there is a method that could encapsulate all of the runes into a simple, let's call it a…script."
"You are going to show me something unbelievable again, aren't you?"
Annixon placed his pinkie on the corner of his mouth and smiled mischievously, "Maybe. Hear me out. I think I might have developed a method that would not only streamline it but make that exact same tool accessible to everyone."
"If you claim you have figured out away, then you might have found solved the biggest problem for rune crafters in general."
"Okay let me demonstrate to you."
He started using the engraving tool by first creating baseline earth elemental rune then from it, he made patterns that twisted and turned then branched off and became rectangular followed by a bunch of straight lines and triangles. Within fifteen minutes he was done. It was surprisingly simple.
He picked it up and gave it a whirl. It blasted way more sand that it was supposed to, "Oops, probably should have placed a limiter."
Juliza grabbed the stick and tried it herself. The same result. It blasted way more sand than was necessary. She was shocked beyond belief and dropped the stick, "What are you? Do you have any idea what…WHAT THE HELL!? You solved the rune problem. How exactly did you do this?"
Annixon scratched his beard, "I based it off a method we used in our world. We called it coding. The premise is simple. You allocate memory and from there you tell it what to do. Now, this does go off feeling. I do a quick mental test to see how the magic would flow and correspond accordingly. Basically, each and every strand allows the magic to flow in a certain way. Remember when I told you the gate theorem. This is similar. Magic gets character when it flows and clashes in certain ways. The end result? The stick."
"You could sell this, and nobody would be able to copy this, because even I don't understand the theory behind. Ha, I knew I was right to follow you. Do you think you could teach this to me?"
"It's gonna be difficult, you have to be able to feel the flow of magic and understand how it incorporates into the grander design of the script. "
"I will try my absolute best, and become your personal rune crafter."
"You really don't need to go that far. If you want to learn something do it for yourself. First, just study the script I placed on this and try and feel how the magic moves in it. Once you have that down, I will start you with phase two of training."
He smiled and gave her a curt nod.
He went back to his room and fell unto the bed. He was elated. It has been a stupidly productive day. First a gifted blacksmith and now the secret to real tool crafting. He was going to make tools cheaper and better than any rune crafter in town. An excellent way to make money. He moved around a lot to enjoy the softness of the bed. Tonight he was going to sleep well.
