Lind immersed himself in the creation of weapon cores. The mystery of his sword creation was pushed aside as Master Cain, himself, looked into any precedent for it. Meanwhile, Lind was learning the intricacies of making a core at the 2nd floor forge.
Normally, only a senior apprentice or an elder would be entrusted with the job of making a core depending on the grade, but Lind was allowed to skip to this step due to the unusual result.
The crushed crystal powder was the key to the grade. The beast cores were matched but the overall structure was supported by the powder. The pale white crystal was stunningly quartz. It was not called quartz but when Lind saw it, he remembered it from some of his projects in his old job. The name now was yarrow.
Lind wondered how this had been discovered but focused on trying to blend the ingredients. He tried to replicate what Cain showed him at first, but immediately he felt his elements trying to break free once more.
