Author Note: By the way, regarding Yasenia's skill at the professions, she is not that talented compared with her other dears, and Yasenia will not be a jack of all trades and be excellent at all of them. She will be passable, but compared to the girls, she will reach a level enough to be their helper and not much more.
*************************
Yasenia kept advancing in the forging process. Soon, she arrived at the point where everything would become waste material previously.
This step was known as Spirit Vein engraving and was Particular to the Sky Continent. Yasenia learned it in the past during the Academy classes.
The previous method was similar to the current practice in Distancia Continent.
Andrea observed the other day how the harpies forged. They did it not by engraving spirit veins but by enhancing the materials with energy traces and using the forging hammer to shape the sword and the energy itself.
The results were similar, but with the Spirit Vein engraving, a product's enhancement durability increased. Moreover, it was easier to give extra skills to the items. The metal sword that splintered and regenerated was a good example.
Regardless of which method, this step required delicate energy control. The previous Yasenia was helpless in this aspect, and thus, her forging products always became waste.
Andrea guided her from behind, whispering the steps softly and unhurriedly. "Now, you have to engrave the Spiritual Veins in the sword, love. The shape is perfect, so you have to follow the mineral's natural patterns and the alloy's structure."
Yasenia nodded and poured her energy into the sword handle to spread it across the sword.
Her right hand had a carving knife and slowly moved across the heated metal, creating lines and runes across it.
The energy Yasenia powered worked in the inside where the knife couldn't reach.
These inner Spirit Veins helped the item and user connect easily because a cultivator usually poured the energy through the handle.
With care and a calm heart, very thin lines appeared on the surface and inside of the weapon.
These lines were naturally much more elementary than the ones in Andrea's previous work.
However, the paths were semi-perfect in Andrea's eyes.
Andrea made sure that there weren't any problems and smiled. "Good girl. Continue, don't be nervous. You are doing great."
Yasenia leaned on the hard body behind her as she continued engraving the spiritual veins and simple runes.
Andrea whispered again. "The [Hard Ocean Mercury] characteristics are those of a soft and malleable material. Therefore, you have to weave the spirit veins between the metal's inner structure so that they don't break when the user swings the sword."
Yasenia's breath slowed down, and she listened to Andrea's voice. "This step will reinforce the metal and give it the ability to harness the Water energy the material naturally gathers."
Yasenia's mind got rid of every thought and focused on the sword and the voice behind her.
Andrea felt a change in Yasenia's aura, but she didn't stop guiding her. "This sword has a peculiar ability to bend, so it is not good for stabbing. However, the slashing power is much higher as it acts as a semi-whip."
Yasenia's aura became even more profound as all the information about forging she knew began interlocking together.
Andrea saw Yasenia's amateurish but neat moves change and become more fluid with each second.
