Magic Smiths

Masters of crafting magical items, with unrivaled knowledge and expertise. But beware! Some of their creations can be dangerous if not wielded responsibly.   The rise to power by the Fortress of Dragsa can be easily traced back to the advancements in magical technologies facilitated by the Roots of Life. So it is no wonder that the role of a magic smith is highly respected in society—by both the masters of the craft and the ones aspiring to become them. Magic Smiths play a vital role in the advancement of magical knowledge, the creation of powerful artifacts, and the defense of Dragsa. It's important to note, though, that they are not involved in the creation of hybrid races or body modifications, and they focus solely on their research on magical technologies.   Magic Smith Apprentices are the ones under the tutelage of esteemed masters of this craft. These skilled craftsmen work diligently in the smithy, honing their skills in the creation of enchanted weapons, armor, and other magical objects. Their days are spent forging and imbuing items with powerful magical properties, while their nights are dedicated to studying the arcane theories of magic smithing. One notable workshop where they often toil is the Ironsmith Laboratory, at the forefront of developing magical technologies within the Fortress of Dragsa. With enough experience and expertise, these apprentices may be entrusted with the opportunity to create their own enchanted items. They utilize their knowledge and skill to craft powerful weapons and protective gear for the kingdom's most esteemed warriors, such as the personal elite Wardresses of the Queen or members of the revered Church of Order.   Magic Smith is a title reserved for those gifted in the art of magic smithing, the pinnacle of their achievement. These individuals have the privilege of passing on their vast knowledge and skill to the next generation of apprentices. While guiding the aspiring smiths, their main focus lies in creating new technologies for the Fortress of Dragsa and providing support to the most prominent members of Dragsa's military. Some master magic smiths even find themselves directly employed by the nobles to create exclusive magical items, catering solely to their needs. The rest of the master magic smiths dedicate themselves to crafting the finest equipment for the elite troops of Dragsa.   Hands of Steel. Although magic smiths do not involve themselves in manipulating living creatures through magic, their craftsmanship is such that they can create constructs that bear a remarkable resemblance to life, despite being wholly crafted from steel. These creations, known as the "Hands of Steel," are a testament to the magic smiths' skill and ability to imbue inanimate objects with a sense of vitality.   Mad Goblin Scientist. However, not all who study the craft of magic smithing walk the path of stability and sanity. Those who divert from it are usually expelled from the guild to either fall into ruin or be recruited by nobles or those interested in their skills, like foreigners. One such fellow I met was a goblin who called himself a "Mad Scientist"—an apt title, if I may say so myself. With his uncanny knack for pushing boundaries and exploring uncharted territories in pursuit of magical knowledge, he showed me some of his creations and theories. A true venture into the realm of madness, blurring the line between genius and lunacy.
