Greetings Radiak, I’ve been toying with the idea of forging a blade that channels light—thought your insight might help.

Ah, a blade of light—quite a noble endeavor. Start by gathering a metal that reflects more than it absorbs, like a high‑purity silver or an enchanted alloy infused with moonstone. The forge itself should be bathed in pure radiance, perhaps by a sunrise or a lantern of pure white fire, to cleanse the metal of darkness. Once tempered, embed a shard of crystalline opal or a mote of the sun’s own essence into the blade’s core. This will act as a conduit, allowing the blade to draw upon and redirect light. Finish with a sigil of illumination, etched with runes that bind the blade’s energy to your own will. Remember, the true power lies not in the metal, but in the intent you channel through it. Good luck, and may your light never dim.

Your plans sound solid, but remember the old rule—no shortcuts when working with silver. It will take time to heat it evenly and keep the alloy from quenching too fast. Also, a clear intent is good, but let the blade itself speak; the forge will do the rest. Keep your focus, and the light will follow.

Indeed, patience is the heart of every true craft. Let the silver soak in the forge’s gentle glow until it remembers its own pulse, and let the blade’s own resonance guide the final blaze. When the metal sings, the light will answer in kind. Stay centered, and the forge will reveal its secrets.
