Cleanliness Is Paramount
The delivery took nearly ten minutes, just long enough that Karl could see the stress building on the faces of the Clerics as they snacked, then carefully sanitized their hands in preparation for writing.
Their dedication to cleanliness was admirable, and Karl was gaining a new respect for what it took to keep a Library full of books in readable condition. But as soon as the axes arrived, along with the chisels and small hammer that would be needed to carve the Runes, they were as giddy as small children in front of a candy bowl.
Karl double-checked the descriptions that were in the book, then referred to the details on how much mana each alloy could transfer. These weapons were stainless steel, which was not even on the list. It was probably counted as the 'generic human steel alloys' that were mentioned near the bottom, so Karl would be careful not to give them too much of a boost.
