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.
