able to use the magic powers of an enchanted weapons more often and at the same time being able to hide more effectively… it screamed spec ops!  Definitely a real contender!
    Richter called out each combination to Randolphus who jotted down the statistics.  As he saw his chamberlain record the valuable information, it made him realize that one of the buildings he needed to have built was a library.  He didn’t have many books now, but it never hurt to plan for the future.  He would also have to get Randolphus to bind his notes into a series of books.  They could probably serve as an early history of the village.  That thought made him realize that he should probably assign someone the task of being the village’s historian.  Why was there always so much to do?
    “Okay Krom,” he said.  “AREEEE YOOUUUU REEADDDYYYY?”
    Krom’s only answer were his nostrils flaring over and over.  It was actually kind of impressive that he could do that, Richter thought, but the slow reddening of the dwarf’s face made him realize that perhaps he had pushed this particular joke too far.  Even though he was Master of the village, it wouldn’t necessarily protect him from an irksome dwarf’s oversized fists. 
    Richter pulled the first ingot out of his Bag.  It was moonstone.  Holding both it and the Core close to the anvil earned him a prompt.
    Know This!  The metal that is used to create a Magic Core will determine the Traits given to forging offensive and defensive items.  You have supplied the metal: Moonstone. 
Offensive items: Increases both natural recharge rate of enchanted items and the amount of charges gained from using soul stones.
Defensive items: Decreased mana cost per item (cumulative per piece of armor).
    “That’s awesome,” Richter exclaimed.
    “What?” Krom and Randolphus asked together.
    Richter realized he hadn’t told them what he had found.  “This is moonstone,” he said shaking the white metal slightly.  Krom nodded like that was obvious, impatient for Richter to share the perk.  Randolphus just made a notation and held his pen ready to continue. 
    “Offensive items get a bonus to natural recharge and soul stone recharge.  That could come in useful, but listen to the defensive Trait.  There is a cumulative reduction in mana usage for each piece of armor worn!  That could be huge!”
    Krom wasn’t so excited, “Ay, I could see that being a boon to someone like yerself, yer Lordship.  You seem blessed with high affinities in both weapons and magic.” 
    Richter kept his face passive.  A piece of advice he had gotten from Xuetrix upon first arriving to The Land was to keep his Limitless ability to himself.  Apparently an ability like that was extremely rare and could make him even more of a target than he already was.  Even though he thought Krom was a good guy, and his villagers were becoming like an extended family, Richter believed in playing things close to the chest. 
    Krom continued on, unaware of Richter’s silent reaction to his words, “I don’t know if the benefit would be that great for most casters though.  As I’m sure yer Lordship already knows, most armor has a spell casting penalty.  Low level spells might not be affected by the light armor you’re wearing, but more complex spells require complicated gestures.  Medium and heavy armor would be even worse.  The only ones who could really use this trait would be mages that were also highly skilled in the type of armor they were wearing.  The high armor skill would remove or lessen the penalty.  Otherwise, I think ye would be wasting the Trait.  Most casters will only be able to wear cloth or leather armor.”
    Richter was always impressed by the transformation in Krom when he started talking about his trade.  As irritable and hot tempered as the dwarf could be, he certainly loved his vocation and treated it with respect. 
    “Those are good points,” Richter said, “but we aren’t going to
