Destruptor Build

Today, I decided to make a glove for Aria, the eldest daughter of the city lord and a rich patreon of my shop. She is a skilled fighter, has a martial art like tai chi, but she lacks a good weapon for close combat. I thought of making her a glove that can shoot energy blasts and create shockwaves, two skills, one which i created and one i learned two days ago.

To make the glove, I first bought an Orichalcum glove with some fine leather for comfort from the blacksmiths. It is easier that way, since I don't have to worry about the material and the shape. I just have to focus on the enchantment matrix, which is the core of the glove's functionality.

The enchantment matrix for the blaster is made by engraving a group of runic symbols on the glove. Runic language is a mysterious and ancient language that can manipulate the flow of mana, the source of all magic. The meaning and effect of the runes depend on the arrangement and the strength of the engraving. The energy blast is a skill that I created myself, based on the principles of kinetic energy and mana compression. It is the first time I am engraving it for real combat, so I have to be careful and precise.

Since there are a total of four engravings I would be applying, I first need to create an energy matrix for efficiently transferring energy to three skill matrices. This can be done by an overlapping formation, where the runes are engraved on top of each other in a spiral pattern. This way, the energy can flow smoothly and quickly from the mana stone, which is the power source of the glove, to the other matrices.

Next, I would join a shock absorbing matrix and an energy refill array to the energy matrix. The shock absorbing matrix is a simple rune that can reduce the recoil and the damage from the energy blast and the shockwave. The energy refill array is a complex rune that can replenish the mana of the mana stone by absorbing the impact and converting a large portion of it into mana. This would be easier if I use a magic crystal, but I don't want to waste a magic crystal for something simple as this.

Now, once these are set up, I proceed to add the body strengthening matrix inside the glove. This is a rune that can enhance the physical abilities of the wearer, such as speed, strength, and agility. This is useful for Aria, who relies on her quick movements and powerful strikes in combat. The body strengthening matrix is connected to the energy matrix, so it can draw mana from the mana stone as well.

Next, I add the blaster skill matrix on the outer surface of the glove. This is a rune that can release a burst of energy from the glove, creating a projectile that can hit the target with great force. The blaster skill matrix is also connected to the energy matrix, so it can use the mana from the mana stone to generate the energy blast. The blaster skill matrix has a trigger rune, which is a small rune that can activate the skill when pressed. I place the trigger rune on the thumb finger of the glove, so that the wearer can easily fire the blast with a simple gesture of making a fist and tightening.

Finally, I add the shockwave skill matrix on the palm of the glove. This is a rune that can create a powerful wave of energy that can push back or knock down enemies in close range. The shockwave skill matrix is also connected to the energy matrix, so it can use the mana from the mana stone to create the shockwave. The shockwave skill matrix has a trigger rune, which is a large rune that can activate the skill when the wearer wants. I place the trigger rune on the palm of the glove, so that the wearer can easily create the shockwave by streaching their palm or sending mana to the glove with the intent to create a shockwave.

After adding all the matrices, I place the mana stone on the encasing space on the back of the glove. The mana stone is a small, round, blue stone that can store and release mana. It is the most important component of the glove, as it provides the energy for all the skills. I make sure that the mana stone is securely attached to the glove, and that the energy matrix is properly connected to it.

And...complete. It took me about half an hour, and I am not boasting, but if another runemaster knows about my speed, they would cough up blood. I have just made a glove that can perform three advanced skills with minimal mana consumption and maximum efficiency. I can't wait to see Aria's reaction when she give it a go.

"I shall name you, Disruptor Gloves."

"Now i need to make one for the other hand."

[Aria's pov]

My name is Aria Skylark, and I am the youngest daughter of Sebastian Skylark, the lord of this city. Ever since I was a child, I was expected to be responsible and diligent, but I never felt good enough. No matter what I did, I was always second place to my sister, who excelled in everything. She had more talent and more mana than me, and I could not overcome that gap with hard work alone. So I decided to learn martial arts, hoping to find something that I could be better at than her. But even in that, I was still lacking.

My father is not a strict person, and he always encourages me and tells me that there is no need to compete with my sister. But his words only make me feel worse, as if he is pitying me or giving up on me. I want him to be proud of me, to see me as his equal daughter, not his inferior one.

But something changed when I met a runemaster named Klein Pietra. He was a former student at the academy where my sister is studying, but he dropped out and opened a rune shop. He told me something that changed my perspective: "If you can't beat someone with talent or magic, then do it with money." At first, I didn't understand what he meant, but when I started using runic scrolls, I realized the truth behind his words. It doesn't matter whether you are fighting fairly or not, whether you are fighting with your own power or not, what matters is whether you win or lose. At first, I thought it was cowardly, but ultimately, it is the reality of this world.

I trained in hand-to-hand close combat, so I don't have a weapon preference that suits me. That's why I asked him to make me a weapon that would enhance my abilities and give me an edge over my opponents., and now I am visiting his shop to check up on the progress. I wonder what kind of weapon he has prepared for me.

[Klein's pov]

I finish making the second glove for Aria, and while i was making the second one i added another rune to both gloves, this is a rune that can change the nature or element of mana.

Finally finished both, the pair of gloves look identical, except for the color of the blaster skill matrix on the thumb finger. The right glove has a red blaster skill matrix, while the left glove has a blue one. This is to differentiate the two types of blasts that the gloves can produce: fire and ice. The fire blast can ignite or melt anything it hits, while the ice blast can freeze or slow down anything it hits.

While admiring the gloves i took a look at the clock and it is the time she said she would visit, i looked out the window and i could see aria with her bodyguard coming towards the shop, right on time. She walks into my shop, and I greet her with a smile.

"Hey, Aria. I have something for you."

[Aria's pov]

I walk into Klein's shop, and I see him smiling at me. He looks happy, and I feel a surge of excitement. He must have finished making my weapon.

"Hey, Klein. What do you have for me?"

He walks over to me, and he hands me a pair of gloves. They look like ordinary leather gloves, but I can feel the runes on them. They are warm and soft, and they fit my hands perfectly.

"These are your weapons. I call them Disruptor Gloves. They can perform five different skills: fire blast, ice blast, shockwave, shock absorption and body strengthening. They are powered by mana stones, which are on the back of the gloves. They have trigger runes, which are on the thumb fingers and the palm of the gloves. You can activate the skills by gestures, or sending mana to the gloves with the intent to use the skills. Do you want to try them out?"
