"I'm going to need a bigger wheelbarrow" myka leaving the guard station
i got 30 medium gold coins worth 300 gold coins. And 300 gold coins worth of materials like manastones, a few weapons confiscated from bandits, pelts, including the manabear pelt.
i'm resting at the smithy studying the mana stones using my mana sight.
"boy i'm back, the pig iron was cheaper then usual from the traveling merchants."
looking at Ded i can see his mana traveling around him in so much more clearly then before that battle with the wolves. I see what looks like 3 small orbs of concentrated mana floating around his belly region.
"BOY " Ded

"that would be frighteningly powerfull and we would need to keep that a secret or we'll kidnapped or killed. For the kind of danger that brings." ded
"no need to worry yet i still can't figure it out, but i think i can make a mana vein in a weapon that connects to a mana stone embedded in it. Being able to tap into 30 percent of it's power."
"BOY i heard that even a remarkably powerful manastone would only increase the power of a sword by 15 percent even mage staffs i heard would only get 35 percent." Ded
"So what, you still haven't even seen all i have planned for all my weaponry."
