—Oh, sorry if it seemed like I was bragging, I was just expressing my respect for the most skilled master in the empire. As for taking a closer look... only from a distance. —Klin ran his hand along the blade of the runic sword. —Because otherwise, even a person with your strength would be pinned to the ground on contact. And in case of resistance, something much worse might happen. This is the effect of one of the runes. As for the others, the one that's relevant to your question is the honest one, which reads the souls of opponents and boosts power against bandits and pirates. And also the lunar one, the one that shimmers at night. It tears the souls of the slain from the cycle of the goddess-mother and imprisons them in the weapon. Souls that have accepted their fate serve me as an enhancement, and sinners and villains... are a heavy burden. —Deciding that this sounded too epic, the knight quickly added: —But a good blacksmith, after learning from Crag, could easily return them to the natural cycle. What's my point? That with sufficient skill, technology and magic can go hand in hand. And determining the types and colors of souls and working with them is not such a mystery.
—Wow, so many runes here! Can I touch them? It seems like I can. As long as it's in your hands, the protection shouldn't activate. Hmm... indeed... Soul absorption looks like something that could potentially be useful against a lich, I need to deconstruct it, —she said thoughtfully, examining the pattern and trying to decipher the inscription and the method of application. —No words, Crag is something else, it won't be easy to compete with him, in the sense that, yes, it's definitely possible to create a rune for seeing souls. That's good news.
—I see that, as commanders, we share the same weakness, huh?
