The appearance of the "Moonlight Greatsword" was expected, but the other Arcane Technique, "Toy Manufacturing," was entirely unexpected.
Shard had directly contacted the Relic, "God's Gift Box," from which the Whisper Element had produced the Spirit Rune "Toy Manufacturer." This was another relatively specific Spirit Rune, with low potential for developing further Arcane Techniques.
If the "Moonlight Greatsword" represented a purely offensive Arcane Technique, then "Toy Manufacturing" was purely supportive.
As long as Shard's spirit was sufficient, and he had enough fabric, he could turn any non-transcendent object into a toy. For living beings, only those who trusted Shard enough could be transformed into toys.
Although Mia's true owner was not Shard, after living together for a month, this cat's trust in Shard was absolutely sufficient; therefore, last night was the first attempt, and it turned into a toy under Shard's clothes.
