Chapter 1615 1615. Molding
The idea to make it so that the mana gems would only hold natural mana was not as simple as it sounded. Walker was able to store natural mana within the eternal orb because it had been made to house every single elemental mana which included natural mana when they fused together.
The normal mana gems usually could only host one singular mana. That meant that it would most likely be unable to hold all the elemental manas to combine in to natural mana. In turn, that would make them unable to store mana without Walker adding the natural mana directly. Unless he somehow managed to inscribe a natural mana rune on to them, which he did not have the ability to do because natural mana runes were not something he knew.
"I do not enjoy cramped places such as this. They are much too dirty to even sit down." Rise hated the forge. She was a dragon that stayed in the wide open sky where she could absorb the light elemental mana as often as possible. The idea of being confined was disgusting to her. This is also why she could never understand Terron or any other earth dragon who would prefer large caves.
"It's just for a little while. If you really don't like it we can go to the top of the ship and I can use my portable forge skill. It would just take longer to set up. I just thought it better to use forges that were already heated." The forges had been lit and were in use. The odds were that they would always be in use as long as the ship was able to stay afloat.
Dwarves and a few other non dwarf blacksmiths moved around fixing small parts on armors along with weapons. Just because Walker had not faced any damages while patrolling did not mean that others had not. Some of the dragonkin had managed to break their armor defending against the assassin jackets. Not to mention the fact that the bones of the frogs could also dull or chip blades.
"Where do we start?" Alice was a little too excited to see Walker forging something for her. She had not been able to watch him work with blacksmithing skills. It would be very interesting. However, she was clearly already feeling the heat which prompted Walker to share the necklace that Midnight had given him which cooled the body.
"We need the mana crystal shards. Luckily, I have some in my storage. But I think we should have a bunch more left over from some true spirit crafting practice. It takes a lot of mana to make something like that but the elemental spirits seem to help a lot even though they don't always dwell within the practice creations."
Walker knew that the crystal shards were saved more and more by the blacksmiths since the need for the mana gems was on the rise due to items needing them. The true spirit crafting endeavors were the main reason. The items made with the technique would need a mana gem to house the mana that the elemental spirits stored. It also needed them to use the skills they developed after the item was forged.
Those molds are what we will use to force the mana gem shards to become different shapes. They also need to be heated a lot. Midnight has used her dragon fire to make the process easier. That's not required though, I should be able to manipulate the heat well enough." Walker was more talking to himself as he became more and more focused.
"I can probably add more light elemental mana to the forging fires too so that the natural mana I use to fill the mana gems will better meld with light elemental mana. That could smooth things over." A few of the dwarves saw that Walker was preparing mana gem molds while also grabbing up the mana crystals.
The interest was out of sheer curiosity. Some knew that Walker was friends with the wandering blacksmith and wore many items that were created by him. Just knowing that Walker had also helped the wandering blacksmith was a major reason for them to watch him work. They could learn a few small tricks from Walker who might have learned them from the wandering blacksmith. It was a major opportunity.
The first mold that Walker grabbed was the largest mana gem mold he could find. It was the size of a large strawberry. But it had a flat side so that it would better be used as jewelry. This would be optimal compared to the rounded mana gem molds that were better used to string on the necklace in smaller sizes.
The other smaller molds that Walker grabbed were mainly for jewelry in general. There were different shaped molds that would fit in to pieces of armor or shields. But they were mainly too large or shaped to fit the general shape of what they were intended for. If any were used for jewelry it would be bulky and uncomfortable.
"Alight, Can you sing any songs to condense the light elemental mana? I want to see if it is easier to bring more light mana in the entire environment so that I can draw on it. Maybe it can make some white flames that will incorporate the mana and higher heat." Walker had not truly made a mana gem by himself but he had watched the process. A small failure here and there would not be an issue.
"I was curious if you would ask for my flames. I have never done such a thing for others. It would diminish my stature. You are wise not to ask." Walker had a feeling that if he had asked Rise to heat the forge with light elemental flames, that she would have become angry. But he also knew that Alice was more than happy to be his partner for this. She could sing a song that would boost his ability to draw on the mana he wanted to mix with the gem's structure.
"I thought it better for Alice to help since she would be the one using the gems we make. It could also help her draw the natural mana out of the gem when she needed it. It might not really be possible because she doesn't have a natural mana manipulation skill but in theory, this will work." Walker could also incorporate a little of Alice's mana in to the creation just because she would be expending it nearby. It would only take a little guidance.
The forge was easily heated up with a pull of a few levers. They were made so that they could increase by adding air from the bottom. It was a very wise choice when it came to heating with speed. But the ingenious idea was inlaying the forge with multiple mana gems made with fire elemental mana as the focus. This would allow the forge to retain and absorb fire elemental mana to further heat the products put inside.
The mold proved heavier than Walker though but he had greatly strengthened his body with the stat points from his level ups over time. He was able to show off his strength as he split the mold in half while placing the gem shards within it. He used just enough to fill the mold before pressing it down and resting the first mold near the forge to allow it to slowly heat. The drastic change in temperature was never good because it could lead to potential stress cracking.

Rise was watching with great interest. She had not been present when dwarves or humans had smithed anything. She rarely even looked over the work that her own blacksmiths would do since she didn't feel the need for armor. However, the more that the other dragons spoke about the armors they were going to have made, she had become a little jealous. Especially since the true spirit forging technique could allow a light elemental spirit to join her and increase her mana mediation.
"Normally this will take a few hours, but since we have the mana and the skills to manipulate the heat better, I might be able to speed it up." Walker tried his best to copy every single small step he could remember the wandering blacksmith make. He became solely focused on the forge and heating the molds he was placing within it.
Something about the process made him feel like he was being lulled in to a comfortable dream. Alice's singing had started and the light elemental mana had become a fog around him. It further helped Walker forget that anyone was even around him. He didn't notice the many dwarves that came to watch him from a short distance away.
