Crafting

 

History

Gathering Raw materials for refinement has been done since the World came to be. One could argue that the first boiled or roasted fish, the first prepared vegetable, or the first worn fur were the first crafts. So… when it began, it was unknown and uncertain, but today’s crafting is much more complex than the crude work of the Dark Ages.

As good as anyone can make crude and simple things to sustain daily life, at some point, they just need to be better, or an individual with talen is spotted. These are taking crafting beyond rag-tag stuff and starting their climb up the crafting system ranks. Ranking is defined by Crafters and Skills. and normally starts at Apprentice and raises to Lord or more. Crafting sees its greatest unfold at Mt. Vula, in which many sidecaves open out into ‘Crafters Heaven’—an immense crater where swirling Mana forms a rooftop, blocking sunlight from pouring into our world. As it swirls down, it slowly crystallises, and the weight forces it downward and out at the great centre pillar.

The rim of every colour cracks and breaks like a glazier, tumbling down into the steaming heads of Lava Imps. Making them come alive with sizzling tongues and gleaming eyes for a while, aiding whatever works at the forges and anvils. Running out of energy, they return to the piller once more, but not at the same colour they rose from, until they have rested at all other colours.

Organisation

Its worth noting that crafting can be both a resource, an item, or really complex objects.

Its worth noting, that many can cut a wooden figure, cook a meal, or behead a chicken. But its not until one begins to study the types, ores, components, flavours, cut angles, etc. That one goes from what guilded and taught people call a Rag Tag.

When crafting, it’s normally one of these:

• Resource: Are the results of refinement of a Raw material.
• Item: the alteration of resource(s) into an item
• Object: The merge of items into an object

Crafted items have an average purity of the raw materials used, up to the skill of the crafter. Crafted objects similarly have an average purity of items used, up to the skill of the crafter. Thus, don’t give the purest raws or items to an apprentice. Enhancers can’t add more energy to an object than its purity or their skill rank. Thus, don’t waste the best on a low-ranked enhancer.

Lets assume a Grand Lord with more than the required 951 in skill, craft a sword; pommel (963), handle (958), guard (952), and blade (959). That it’s a Grand Lord making it, allows for 8 enhancing slots. Should any of the components already have enchantments, they are dissolved in the sword crafting process.

Although none of the enchantment slots can hold energies above the objects lowest purity (952) in potency. The purity of shards used must exceed 952, to be able to influence enhancing of the world item/object. This means, that two merged radiant shards wont suffice, as they are merely a celestial at purity 951. The merged celestial, needs another merge to raise its potency.
