Now that Alaric had a new weapon Marcus handed the enchanted staff over to him and let him try it out a bit.
"Wow it feels completely different from the other one. Is this what a masterpiece feels like." Alaric said as he swung the staff around.
Of course, it was not actually a masterpiece as he surmised, but it was more than sufficient for a person at a lower level.
"Well, I am glad you like it but to go along with it you need some armor. So, for the meantime keep practicing and I will make you something that is light and easy to move in."
Going back into work mode Marcus pulled out some more bronze and began the far lengthier process of making some light armor for Alaric.
'Yeah, a thin chain shirt and pants ought to do it.'
Within an hour after using all of his skills to speed the process up, Marcus had made the base of the armor for Alaric.
