Questionable Origins 1
Sorry to say, but I wasnt able to complete the order quite to your specifications, Nao said matter-of-factly.
What? Why not? Fizzy asked in a confused manner.
You told you wanted Recall and a few other things, then left the castle before I realized the work order you filled out also asked for Increased Weight.
So?
So?! Space and gravity are opposite elents! Seriously, how do people keep forgetting that? Anyway, bottom line is I cant put Recall and Increased Weight on the sa item without sothing breaking, so I ended up dropping the second one.
You have to be kidding . That enchantnt was supposed to compensate for the fact that its much too light for a hamr!
Its your own fault for suddenly dropping by out of the blue with a last-minute job. Besides, if youre planning to use magic to cover up an items faults, you need to consult an Enchanter before you started making the thing. Not weeks after its already done.
The object these two were arguing over on this fine morning was Fizzys new weapon, which she had made as a replacent for the high-tech wrench she lost during a failed Quest. The golem had naturally omitted the part where she made it inside a dungeon using materials a shapeshifter had teleported in from another continent, but she wasnt lying about the gist of it. She didnt want to board the ship to Atica unprepared, so she had Nao enchant it literally the day before she had to leave along with the Morgana household. Which was in a few hours from now, aning it was far too late to be making any corrections.
The good news is, Nao continued, that I managed to figure out a workaround. I figured you wanted sothing to give the hamr so more oomph, so I put Impact Amplification on it instead. Its a force-type enchantnt so there were zero compatibility issues with Recall.
Impact Amplification? Thats a thing?
It is, though not a very popular one since it doesnt have the added benefit of increasing a blunt weapons inertia. However, that wont be an issue for soone with your, um, unique circumstances. Your mithril fra is many tis heavier than a regular persons body, so you should do great so long as you put your entire weight behind the swings instead of just using your arms. Which I assu you already do anyway.
Hmm? You actually have a surprisingly good grasp of how montum works, dont you? the golem remarked. Didnt expect that from a spineless wimp whod never swung a mace in his life.
Magic exists to subvert the natural laws, after all, the wolfkin said with a wry smile. Cant do that unless you know what rules youre supposed to be breaking.
I guess thats a point. Anyway, can I get my weapon back now?
Of course. Just as soon as you pay .
It was only natural that Nao had requested paynt for his efforts. Not only did he have to use his own materials, but had to work on it throughout the night to get it ready in ti. In fact, he hadnt even gone to bed yet when the golem barged into the workshop just minutes ago. Frankly speaking he wouldnt have even taken the job if it wasnt doing it as a favor to Keira, so charging only twice his normal rate seed more than reasonable under the circumstances.
Fizzy reached into the Bag of Holding strapped to her thigh and took out a Minic-sized strongbox containing the agreed upon amount. The Hero of Magic accepted it and opened his Item Box, allowing a solid mithril hamr to erge from it. It had a relatively plain shaft that was about a ter long with a few short cables sticking out of it and a rubberized grip at the lower end. The head was an irregular cone shape, with a wide, circular and flat face on the front and a spiky electrical coil on the back end. The middle bit that connected these parts to the handle was blockier, with a circular dial in the middle to indicate the charge level of the built-in Direct Impact Lightning Discharge Oscillator. Overall it was a weapon that looked either like a long one-handed hamr or a short two-handed one when Fizzy held it.
