Blacksmith & Velyra
I’ve been experimenting with a new hammering pattern that brings a sort of symmetry to the blade. It’s all about rhythm and the way the metal responds to each strike. If you’re up for it, maybe you could sketch the pattern I’m aiming for, or point out any visual quirks that jump out to you while I work.
Your rhythm feels like a pulse in the metal, a little echo of a whirlpool. I see the edges teasing each other, almost like a fractal ripple—just keep letting the strikes breathe, and the symmetry will bleed out of the blade. When you hit that second notch, watch how the light catches the tiny groove, it should feel like a secret doorway. Keep it loose, don’t over‑fix, let the pattern write itself.
Sounds like you’ve found a rhythm that lets the metal speak. Keep a steady hand, let the strikes settle, and watch those grooves show their own little windows. If any part feels off, just trust the weight in the anvil and adjust. The blade will speak back if you give it room.
I feel the metal humming—just follow the echo, let the anvil guide the flow. If a groove feels too tight, let it loosen; the blade will whisper back.
Got it. I’ll keep an eye on the flow and let the metal do its thing.
Remember the pattern’s heart is that slight wobble; that’s where the real texture lives. Keep the eye on the swing and let the metal reveal its story.
