Many Things Yet

"Reforge… my sword?" Alex asked, confused. "How does that help me?"

"Your main issue is that your sword is weak, by the standards of which you will soon reach. If your sword were instead to be stronger, made up of better material, it can help you fight Divinities without you having to worry about its fragility."

Alex took a moment to gather his thoughts and understanding of the situation. This was the fourth option awarded to him, but he couldn't see how this was any different than giving up on his sword entirely. Unless…

"Won't my sword's nascent spirit die when it is reforged?" Alex asked.

"Normally, yes. But if it is blood-refined, not necessarily. Spirits, even when nascent can survive most damages if they are blood-refined because they have a bond with the person forging them. If you are still alive when your sword is molten back, they can survive the process. I do have to mention that they will be damaged, so it's not an easy process."
