Lina & Stoneleg
Hey Stoneleg, I’ve got a wild idea for a new kind of sword that could turn the tide on the battlefield—think ancient forging secrets mixed with a modern flare. Want to hear what I’m cooking up?
Sure thing, lay it out. I’ll listen and see if it stands up to the heat of a forge.
First, drop the old steel standards—start with a high‑carbon alloy, but weave a layer of titanium into the core. That gives it the edge strength but lets it flex when the blow hits. Then, instead of a plain handle, sculpt a grip from dragon‑bone leather, layered with a tiny, invisible magnet that keeps the sword’s balance in perfect tune no matter how hard you swing. Add a small, hidden channel of liquid mercury between the blade and handle, so the metal can shiver just enough to dampen vibration and keep the edge razor‑sharp. Finish it with a flame‑etched pattern that’s not just for show—it’s a heat‑shield that burns the first 20 inches of flame you throw at it. If you’re bold enough to try it, you’ll feel the forge’s heat dancing across the blade and the weight of destiny in your hands. Ready to test it?
Sounds like a dream and a nightmare in one. I’ll give it a look, but if that mercury thing’s gonna slide around, it’ll be a mess in the field. We’ll see if the heat‑shield actually does more good than hurt. Ready when you are.
