When Han Se-ah hastily began explaining after noticing my threatening aura with clenched fists, ready to give her a good smack upside the head if she was making decisions based on donation amounts.
"There's a reason - enhancing my staff with the lightning stone probably won't boost Call Lightning's performance much. I'm actually planning to learn an advanced spell I had my eye on at the Magic Tower."
Summon Ice Storm was more of a CC skill for holding mobs than a pure attack spell. Call Lightning could be either AoE or single-target depending on how it was controlled, but lacked raw power.
When she said "lacking" about a high-rank magic that could drop dozens of lightning bolts, I wondered what she ant - but she quickly explained further.
Now that enemies had enough HP to not get completely shredded by the holy sword, she wanted to maximize burst damage against mid-bosses and boss monsters by using fire enhancent to achieve sothing like an all-out barrage.
In other words, she wanted to throw bombs.
'...Should I hit her or not?'
Since our party had plenty of gold and Grace's arrow issue was solved, Han Se-ah planned to fill her inventory with alchemically crafted bombs to throw alongside Hell Fire. It wasn't a completely ridiculous idea - the others nodded along as if it made sense.
The party seed to understand Han Se-ah's obsession with explosives by now. They didn't even question her absurd reasoning that she wanted to learn advanced fire magic to use bombs more efficiently.
Still, there was no reason or way to stop a player who wanted to use bombs. Though she should probably be called a demolitions expert rather than a mage, she was helpful regardless. It's not like her bomb obsession had ruined the ga - her various acids and explosives had actually helped many tis.

And so Han Se-ah's staff received the fire attribute enhancent stone, while my warhamr got the lightning one. So viewers argued enhancing a staff stand was wasteful, but... the holy sword was pure divine energy created as a skill, so enhancent was impossible. No matter how skilled the stone dwarves were, they couldn't enhance divine power with enhancent stones.
If that had been possible, we would have slapped every enhancent stone on Irene's sacred law and gone with a divine tank rush strategy.
When the enhancent results appeared, Katie was naturally the most excited. After practically hugging Grace's bow wrapped in pale green wind, she darted over to us. Her excitent was as obvious as a dog begging for a walk in the snow.
It was adorably cute how she agonized over whether to examine the staff emanating heat haze or the sparking warhamr first.
"First we should check all the equipnt effects, right? Let's find an open space to test them."
"Yeah, we can't go into life-or-death battles without knowing what we're wielding!"
Han Se-ah smoothly directed the situation seeing Katie's enthusiasm. Of course, this wasn't just to satisfy Katie's curiosity - the viewers were threatening to set the chat on fire if they didn't get to see the item effects imdiately.
So stone dwarves were already watching us anxiously after the wind arrow incident with their wall.
No wonder they were worried, seeing these squishies enhance their equipnt with stones then suddenly squeal excitedly before attacking a wall. So ignoring those concerned looks, we headed to an open space outside the city.
It was more like an undeveloped cavern plaza than an open space. Being an underground city of blacksmiths and alchemists, there were clear marks where other high-rank adventurers had tested their weapons, shattering and lting the rocks.
"Looks like others tested their weapons here too. We can experint here."
"It might get a bit noisy, is that okay?"
"The stone dwarves' buildings are well soundproofed. And the streets are already noisy from the workshops, so it should be fine."
Grace naturally aid her bow at the rocks. Having gotten a taste after accidentally embedding an arrow in soone's wall, her eyes sparkled with anticipation almost as much as the bouncing Katie beside her.
Grace seed quite interested in this kind of thing, though not as much as the kid Katie. Once she confird there was nothing to worry about in the empty plaza, she drew her bowstring without hesitation.
This ti we could clearly see pale green mana gathering into an arrow on the empty string. Earlier we probably missed it when she carelessly plucked the string.
"So it creates arrows from mana. How's the mana consumption?"
"Doesn't seem to use my mana? Looks like it gathers ambient mana on its own... no, wait a second?"
Then as if sothing bothered her, Grace suddenly rapid-fired arrows. Though it was more like spraying than precise shooting, the arrows miraculously flew in a perfect line, drilling holes into the half-lted rock.
Or rather, a single hole.
The arrows pierced through each other like an archery technique, continuously striking the sa spot. It was approaching a feat that would amaze even superhumans with mana-enhanced bodies.
"Sothing strange?"
"Isn't it different? Look carefully."
"...Ah! The hole is getting wider!"
"Right. There was no mana consumption at first, but I can feel it a bit after shooting multiple tis."
While I was wondering why she suddenly started rapid-firing, Katie, who had been examining the rock close enough to bump her nose on it, exclaid in surprise. Well, it would be disappointing if a special enhancent stone made from a nad monster's mana stone only produced free arrows.
You could buy enough normal arrows to shock even Zhuge Liang with the money from selling that mana stone.

The weapon enhancent using special enhancent stones naturally stirred up the community. Along with mocking jeers about how this should have been used against the Harpy Queen, but they finally enhanced it while taking down the floor 60 boss in season 2.
All Han Se-ah could do was grind her teeth at the factual defamation claiming she was coasting and wasting ti until getting hit by the patch beam.
After glancing at the trembling Han Se-ah, she clicked on the forum post summarizing the system window I couldn't see.

A detailed post summarizing that long journey of laughing and testing weapons in the plaza without any fast forwarding.
There was intense interest since Kongline Kim Seok-hyun hadn't yet discovered how to buy special enhancent stones from season 1, rather than ogre mana stones. So while people wondered how to obtain enhancent stones, they were even more curious about their performance.
And what greeted us when we returned to the base camp before floor 60 amid fervent interest both in and out of ga was--
"What do you an?"
"Th-the Four Kings guy suddenly dug tunnels and c-ca out...!"
The bizarre news that the boss monster was attempting guerrilla warfare against humanity.
...Was he actually insane?
