Iron Knight

Finally, the process seemed to come to a stop as the chest plate was tossed out of the forge. Ed gazed at it as if to inspect it before laying his hands on it. He peered inside it and found that the skeleton torso was indeed still found inside.

'What's the benefit of this? can't they just wear armor?' As the forge had put it together Ed had to assume it was in some way useful, no?

'Maybe the skeletons become more in tune with their armor.' Ed was thinking that having one's senses and influence extend to the lifeless armor might increase close combat skills. He wasn't sure if the difference would be sufficiently substantial, however.

'Well, I'll create only this one for now' Ed figured liches mixed with knights might prove more useful so he opted for that option.

He went to the holding box and threw in the other body parts. The forge showed him the prompt and Ed readily agreed. The process began once again.
