In fact, unlike Roar's life pills, which had about a 10% chance or even less than a 10% chance of assimilating the natural wonder of the light elent, his life pills had at least a 50% chance of assimilating the natural wonder of the lightning elent.
So maybe two or even three of his pills would succeed in assimilating the natural wonder of the lightning elent, unlike the nine life pills required for Roar's. But he wasn't going to take any chances.
He spent so ti creating the 18 life pills. It took a lot of ti and resources, but it ensured that the assimilation went smoothly without any issue.
The result of the fusion of his life pill and the natural wonder was the creation of the external foundation. This external foundation was then used as the core and base of the weapon he wanted to forge.
After creating the external foundation, he had to spend so ti designing the weapon. The first thing he had to decide on was what kind of weapon it was that he was going to build.
A session of brainstorming and comparing designs showed that a hamr would be the most suitable weapon to forge. This conclusion was made because of the structural integrity that the external foundation required in order to serve as a weapon without breaking.
The external foundation was a ball of flesh. This ball of flesh was a blue organ that pulsated rhythmically as it absorbed and expelled mana.
Lightning could be seen zapping around on the surface of the blue organ. This indicated that it wasn't as harmless as it looked.
But no matter how destructive or dangerous the external foundation, it was still soft and easy to destroy. Even a stone thrown at it could destroy it.
The external foundation was too fragile, so if it were to be used as the core of a weapon, that weapon would have to be sothing that could protect it.
This requirent for protection eliminated weapons like swords, whips, and gauntlets. Their cross-sectional area was just too thin to provide safe housing for the external foundation.
He needed sothing thick that would encapsulate the external foundation completely without the risk of breaking. This made him eliminate spears and halberds too.
After considering his options, he settled on three choices. The three choices were a bow, a club, and a hamr.
A bow is also thin and easy to break, but considering that he wouldn't be hitting people with the bow and would be using it as a ranged weapon, it wasn't at risk of breaking like the other weapons.
Still, he dropped the bow as an option because he already had one bow. He didn't want to have two bows, so he gave up on the first option.
The second option was also tempting. A thick, club-like weapon would be thick and very durable. Unfortunately, in terms of durability, a club is no match for a hamrhead.
He has heard of hamrs breaking, but only their handles break, not their hamrhead. He is sure that it is possible to crush and deform a hamrhead. But he is also sure that it is far easier to snap or flatten a club than to crush a hamrhead.
He tested the two weapons' durability to make sure. It was also during the testing that a club was found to be more difficult to forge and engrave than a hamrhead since it had more surface area.
The larger surface area also made it easier for the club to beco faulty. Plus, being larger than a hamrhead ant that the resistance encountered to the flow of electricity was higher.
So in summary, the hamrhead had the advantages of being more durable, easier to forge, and able to output more power than the club. This sealed the decision.
He got to work designing the weapon after deciding what weapon he would make. The design is also very important because the weapon he wants to forge is not like ordinary weapons.
First of all, the hamrhead will be hollow. Secondly, the hamrhead has to be able to accommodate the increasing size and power of the external foundation as it grows stronger.
For this, he had two options. The first is to make a modular hamrhead.
The first option involved making a type of hamrhead that can be easily replaced. He will just have to remove the external foundation from the old hamrhead and slot it into the new one.
The second option was to create a hamrhead that could act as the body of the external foundation and grow in tandem with it. This way he won't have to worry about the external foundation outgrowing its house.
The second option also had the benefit of being in perfect sync with the external foundation. So it would be more powerful and have more potential.
This decision was very easy for him to make. He made it in less than ten seconds of thinking.
He chose to go with the first option and create a modular design. He made this decision simply because he couldn't forge a weapon that could grow. He didn't even know if such a thing was possible.
In order to be sure, he called Storm Hawk and Thor to ask them. Thor told him that it was currently impossible for anyone in the Five Veins region to create a weapon that was capable of growing on its own.
It wasn't that weapons couldn't be upgraded after they were forged. But the process of upgrading them was essentially a process of reforging them.
During this reforging, the weapon will be dismantled into individual parts or lted down before being reforged. This was similar to his first option of creating a weapon design that could be disassembled and reassembled with better parts.
After getting this input, he didn't hesitate anymore. He began designing a hamrhead that could be replaced in the future. A smile tugged at his lips as he made manifest onto paper what he had in mind.
