e these books. All those months of being a good person probably lead to karma delivering this to him.
If he makes everything on that list, not just Benjamin himself would benefit, heck, all of the mages would literally "level up" if they were to each get one of their own. If they can even automate the production process, they could even sell it or use it to attract new recruits!
For whatever the two books were worth, they were definitely a huge step forward strategically.
Of course, however, Benjamin didn’t dare to celebrate too soon. First he had to test the feasibility of the blueprints, if he can’t even find the materials/ingredients to begin with, then all this would still be useless.
So he started flipping through the books in search of an easier blueprint he could try out.
Until he stumbled upon the "Hurricane Cape". Despite its name, it looked more like a cloak than a cape. By wearing it, the owner’s wind elemental energies would become significantly stronger. Benjamin chose it cause it looked like the easiest compared to the rest.
Coincidentally, their warehouse nearby had a lot of materials that were prepped for the potion mages to brew their potions, and amongst all that was all the necessary pieces needed to make the Hurricane Cape.
Benjamin excitedly got up, and headed towards the warehouse.
"The skin of a wind wolf, blood of a long tailed ferret, Polygonatum leaves, and the feather of a dark crow….."
The ingredients and materials necessary to make a Magical Instrument was much more complicated and rare than the ones used for magic potions. As this was his first time doing this, Benjamin took extras for everything just in case he failed and needed to restart.
After giving it some thought, he even called up the lady boss from the tailor shop earlier for "technical a.s.sistance."
As he got everything in place, Benjamin took a deep breath and began the process of making the Hurricane Cape.
Using the Icebreaking Spell, he conjured a series of tools: ice scissors, ice needle, ice mortar, ice pestle.....compared to making a normal cape, the Hurricane Cape was at least a few times tougher. Luckily Benjamin could control these items telekinetically, and the lady boss was giving him advice on his side, else it might’ve taken forever to complete.
"Let me see…..first is to create the magic fuse, which would be the strings here."
Following the instructions and the layouts on the blueprints, Benjamin put the ingredients into the ice mortar and used the ice pestle to beat it all into a paste. Very soon, all beastly parts and the blood mixed with the plants were mixed into a dark green paste that emitted a pleasing aroma.
Upon seeing this, Benjamin quickly threw in the fur of some goatlike beast, and under the instruction of the lady boss, he made the fur into a brown fabric string.
"This should be it, that’s what it says on the blueprint," the lady boss nodded as she held onto the book,"don’t worry, this is very st.u.r.dy, no matter how bad you are at this, you can’t mess it up too much."
She sure didn’t hold any punches back with her words.
Then, Benjamin decided to just hand the st.i.tching and sewing equipment to the lady boss so she may show off her skills by making more fabric.
As for Benjamin, he turned to focus on the main element of the Hurricane Cape - the complete skin of the wind wolf.
