ForgeBlaze & StormMaster
Ever tried forging a blade in a thunderstorm, letting the lightning strike right into the hot metal? It’s the ultimate test of weather’s chaos against a master’s steady hand.
No, I don't let the heavens strike my forge. A blade needs a steady heat, not a god’s bolt. I'd rather wait for the right temp than gamble on lightning.
Sure, waiting for the perfect arc of heat is safe, but think about the thrill of a strike that’s been simmering for centuries. You’ll still get a steady forge, just with a side of history written in thunder.
Lightning’s a wild card, not a forge’s friend. I prefer a steady flame to a bolt that could crack the work in half. Tradition says keep the sparks in the hearth, not in the sky.
Fine, steady flame it is, but don’t be surprised if the quiet heat still feels like a hidden storm inside the metal. Keep your sparks on the hearth—just remember that even a calm blaze can be a perfect stage for a sudden thunder.
You know what I’m saying—keep the fire where you can control it. If you’re going to invite thunder, make sure it’s a thunder you can see coming.
