The testing began soon after, where the runes would be tested. Maryam started the tests, and the first one was mana conductivity. A magical weapon like this was given mana to see how much it could amplify by drawing the energy in the surrounding.
The weapon's hilt was given mana, and the test was done on the tip. After a few rounds, Maryam returned with a gaping mouth.
"I think I have erred somehow," said the runemaster as she stared at the report. "I did the test ten times to get the average mana conducted, and every result was the same. This means that the blade has no impurities."
"I created this weapon using a rune and nothing else. It is the highest possible mana conductor the world can create with zero impurities," said Arthur with an 'it is a given' face, not thinking that he had already created a monstrous weapon before even engraving it.
