Cursed Villainess’ Obsession

This time, the weapon I need to craft is specifically for clearing an event, so I must be extra cautious in its creation.

First, I decide on the weapon type.

Of course, it will be a sword.

I'm going to craft a magic-enhanced weapon that compensates for Siegfried’s lack of magical skills.

"Alright, Laphne. While I carve the runes, tell me about the fire magic runes related to temperature control."

"Got it! I’ll do my best!"

This will be a test run for creating a magic-enhanced item.

For simple magic, attaching a spirit stone would suffice. However, to meet specific activation conditions, I need to design the magic activation through runes.

"Oh no! I wrote the wrong symbol!"

"It’s okay! We still have more materials!"

Of course, failures are part of the crafting process. No matter how skilled you are, the more complex the process, the more likely mistakes will happen.

[System: You have created your first magic-enhanced item. Bonus experience points granted.]

“Wow… Warm wind.”

The first item I created was a hairdryer-like magical tool. It uses both fire and wind spirit stones, with the temperature and wind strength controlled by rune designs. However, because my skill level with rune design is still low, I couldn’t rely on any skill assistance.

But this isn’t a game—it’s reality.

So, I’ve been learning from books to compensate for my lack of knowledge. As a result, I managed to create an item that generates warm wind through magical power.

“That’s amazing, Ken! With this, everything will dry in no time!”

Laphne, being a girl, seemed especially pleased with the magical hairdryer. Naturally, items like this don't exist in this world, which is based on a simulation RPG game. Normally, no one would bother creating such an item using two spirit stones and rune designs. They’d just dry their hair with magic.

Still, this creation gave me a rough understanding of magic enhancement. I continued crafting various items after that. However, even with Laphne’s help, spirit stones are limited, so I had to minimize the production of magic-enhanced items.

‘Maybe I should use that Cyclops bone I got earlier.’

While practicing, I decided to create a weapon for myself as well. It’ll be a temporary weapon until I can obtain something better later on.

Crafting a weapon from the Cyclops bone is straightforward. I simply cut the bone into the shape of a sword and sharpen the blade. Even the handle is made of bone, resulting in a simple, crude sword. However, for an early-stage weapon, it’s quite decent. While it’s not dragon bone, Cyclops bone is durable. Since it’s bone, it also has striking power, making it effective against monsters like golems, which are resistant to slashing attacks.
