Yuuki carefully took the sword in her hands, drawing her finger down the side of the blade. After a moment, it morphed in her hands, into a weapon roughly resembling a polearm. "I see... Two cutting weapons, with a little strength and some sturdiness put into it. How much do you want it strengthened? If you wish for the Blessing of Strength to be empowered, I can do that. I can also apply a shredding power to it, to aid you against unarmored opponents. What say you?" She returned the weapon to its sword form, holding it by the blade as she looked up at Oshikuru. "I estimate such enchantments would take twenty five gold pieces. Worry not, I like to keep my reputation honest when it comes to all my work. You will not suffer poor workmanship nor faulty enchantments on your blade, this I swear to you."
William
*Oshikuru grinned behind his mask.* "Yes, that would be great. Give it the maximum level of Blessing of Strength, and that Shredder enchant as well." *He opened the bag and counted out 25 gold pieces , carefully laying them on a nearby table*
Bruce
The kitsune nodded in response, kneeling back down by her forge and carefully placing the blade in the flames, up to its hilt. "I shall heat it soft and carve the runes of enchantment at the base of the blade," She told him, scooping the gold pieces into her coinpurse. "It shall not take more than ten minutes of time, I estimate. Once carved to the right depth and in the precise arrangement, the runes need only be filled with my mana in the appropriate distribution and hammered until the magic is bound. Your blade shall be stronger, and I shall be richer. A beneficial arrangement for the both of us, is it not?"
William
*Oshikuru nodded* "Beneficial indeed"
Bruce
After a few minutes Yuuki drew the blade out from the flames, looking over its glowing orange hue with satisfaction. She set it down on the flat stone, drew a fine carving knife from her robes, and gently set the point against the blade near the hilt. With utmost precision she began cutting a series of thin, flowing runes in a circle across the side of the blade, each cut with absolute care as her hands never wavered. Once the circle was finished, she carved another set of runes inside it, and another, until she placed a final rune in the center. Further from the hilt, she drew a second circle, smaller than the first, and a center rune for that as well. Then Yuuki lifted the smooth stone in her hand, and as a small stream of blue mana flowed from her fingers as she gripped the sword by the handle, she began hammering over the runes, setting them into the metal until they fully disappeared from the surface. She scraped the stone over where the runes were, smoothing the blade, and dunked it in the cooling bucket, looking it over for any leftover marks before handing it back to Oshikuru with satisfaction. "Finished. The enchantments have fully set within the weapon. You will find no issue with it."
William
*Oshikuru gently grabs the blade, then tests it with a couple of swings. He could feel the power behind every swing.* "Thanks Yuuki. For wares, I have coin." *He points to the 25 gold coins on the table, then bows* "Have a good day"
Bruce
Yuuki bowed in return. "And to you, as well. May your enemy's throat never halt your blade." She sat back down by her forge and took some scrap metal from her pocket, placing it in an earthen mold and setting it in the forge to melt down. She'd have to keep working at her forge for a good while to make some more money.
