Chapter 24: 24
Draco moved onto designing the hilts for these swords . He chose a reasonably unique style, with a dragon head for the cross guard and a relatively thick grip . The pommel was styled into the shape of a curved tail, this one also of a dragon .
Clearly, Draco had decided to let the mythical beast that he was named after be the sigil for his creations . The Dragon Soul saw this and gave a thumbs up, as if saying 'not bad kid, you tend to be smart every now and then too . '
Draco ignored the arrogant soul and moved onto the completion phase . A screen popped up asking him if he wanted to either enchant, augment or re-forge the item .
Naturally, Draco chose enchant .
Now enchanting was a thousand times more complex than any other Tradeskill . This was because it wasn't a simple matter of selecting what you want from a menu and adding soul gem to get the result you want .

Firstly, one had to learn and memorize all the runes and pronunciations of the enchantments . This was a bit difficult, but easy enough since most runes were two to four letters to make a word each . They were also simple enough in translation, so it could be memorized .
But it was the drawing of the runes that was hard . Of course, those of Asian descent and those who practiced calligraphy had a head start over everyone on this . Runes were noticeably similar to the symbols used in Japanese, Chinese and Korean languages, although not exactly the same .
Assuming one could master the two above, there comes the limitation set by the Tradeskill level . That came in the form of fusing the runes together to achieve the required effect .
Runes were separated into three categories . Naming, Power and Execution .
Naming involved deciding upon the type of rune you're trying to make . If one was trying to make an enchantment for a dagger, one would use the 'dagger' rune – Tse . Similarly, if one was aiming to make a sword enchantment, like Draco, he would use the 'sword' rune – Sin .
The Power aspect was simple . This essentially was the utilization of the rune in which one wanted to be the main source of power for the enchantment . For example, fire . The Fire rune was – Huo . If Draco wanted to make a flaming sword enchantment, he'd use the fire rune . If he wanted to use an ice one, he'd use the ice rune .
The execution section however, was the true cut-off point for enchanters . This was where the enchanter would decide upon how he wanted the Power aspect to be utilized by the item .
Don't look at the previous two segments and think it was simple thing . The execution section alone can take up to 50 runes to get right depending on what you were trying to achieve .
Draco directly drew the runes onto the word with willpower . Nothing exaggerated like dragons blood, mermaid's tears etc . were needed, just plain willpower to coalesce the runes into being .
Still, to achieve such an effect was difficult for most, because it required you to know every single contour of the rune to will it into formation . Just taking a cursory glance and memorizing the general outline wasn't enough .
Sin, Huo, Po Ruka Rera . Sword, Fire, Focus into strike .
It wasn't a simple fire enchantment Draco used . Most fire enchantments sought to have the fire cover the sword as a whole or focus on a single point for simplicity's sake . What Draco made would see the enchantment support the strike as a whole . However the user decided to wield the weapon, the enchantment would be there to give its support .
This was typically called a dynamic rune and was very difficult to make . It wasn't like Draco was the first to try this, but the problem with dynamic runes was that they required much more mana and soul energy than static enchantments .
If a typical static enchantment needed one low grade soul stone, a typical dynamic enchantment needed a medium grade soul stone or two at the least, or it would fail to activate .
Draco decided on this enchantment and used five medium grade soul stones to activate it . The more soul stones used, the higher the chance of activation . If the amount of soul energy was beyond what was required, the excess went into increasing the enchantment's potency .
With a smile, the fellow watched as the eyes of the dragon's head in the cross guard lit up and the sound of a dragon's roar spread over a large area around the cave, startling all living things in the vicinity .
Before Draco could do anything else, a screen popped up before him .

Draco wasn't surprised by this . Apart from militaristic universal powers like the War Maniac Pavilion, there were organizations with similar rank that didn't focus on combat like the Tradeskill Association .
This was a gathering of elite crafters who focused on achieving the pinnacle of design and creation . Most of the upper echelon of the Tradeskill Association were fanatics who spent most of their time in their work .
It was only the lowly members who'd handle meager construction jobs in order to win contribution points within the organization, like those who were hired by Draco to build his residence in Cario City .
Normally, reputation with this organization would be a precious commodity for majority of Tradeskill players, as the comparative value of reputation to contribution points was like platinum to bronze .
What Draco had made was a unique type of weapon with a relatively unique physical design as well as an ingenious enchantment . Creating something that wasn't already produced would naturally astound the world and earn favor with those fanatic crafters .
A special reward for creating a unique design was that one could sell the recipe for it to bigger buyers and NPCs . If Draco took the basic mana potion design he got as a drop, he could only sell it to other players and at a pretty low price . It could also only be sold physically, and not in a shop .
However, Draco could quite literally mass produce the recipe for this sword and sell it in auctions, to NPCs or in shops he did or didn't own .
First things first, he'd have to name the weapon .
'Seeing as there was an audible Dragon's Roar due to the unique design and enchantment, I'll call it Dragorugio . '
With that in mind, Draco decided to append the name to the weapon . He also used his own name, Draco, as the name of the creator of the design . Right after he did that…
