Ves did not anticipate that the creation of the Bitter Scimitar would provoke a lightning tribulation.
He assumed that while D-arms were more powerful than typical artifacts that red humanity could produce at this time, they shouldn't be too exaggerated, especially given his lack of familiarity and proficiency with Demoncasting.
His assumptions turned out to be wrong.
Perhaps this may be one of the reasons why Demoncasting had become 'lost'. If it was this easy to provoke the heavens with the creation of D-arms, then those that just started out in this craft would definitely endure a lot of failures!
Fortunately, Ves was not a Demoncaster by profession. He was already an accomplished Senior Mech Designer, and Ketis was not bad at her craft either. The Bitter Scimitar should definitely be able to withstand the first handful of strikes without suffering significant damage.
