The list goes on and Elias just stared at the 36 lists with a frown. Then he said.
"Steel with highest melting point"
[Generating Steel With…]
It took some minutes and Elias began to worry when the Notification came.
"Great Steel 1000 Points]
[A resilient Steel with the highest melting point based on its components]
A Round-shaped Bucket Bowl appeared in front of him. He took it and caressed it. The back wasn't smooth but it was thick and the inside was clean and smooth. He put it aside.
With a grin, he stacked the other bowls and began to make the same Steel Bowl. The first Steel Bowl was 1000 Points but the subsequent were 100 Points each.
At the end of the day, when the sun was setting, he made 3 Steel Bowls and 1 was as large as a small bucket.
"Now the Foundry!"
However, he was too tired for that so he lied down and slept.
The next day Elias took the Steel Bucket and started packing fine sand, amidst the yellow coarse sand he found two grains of —White Sand—and one grain of eye-catching—Black Sparkling Sand!
The White Sand is edible Sand enriched with Graced Sand. And the Black Sparkling Sand was Outer sand.
As the newly discovered Island resources, Elias wants to study their use and effects!
Clay has begun to form in excess but it was deep in the sand, Elias had to dig deep and fetch enough. As the clay was wet, after he put the required clay quantity in the bucket of the fine sand, he used his hand to mix them. Taking into account the quantity proportion between the two.
In a foul mood, he brought his water and poured it inside the bucket!
"You better give me a fucking good results… please! That's my life, okay!"
He used his and mixed it again... he found the water wasn't enough. He looked at the waving Sea and felt the urge to fetch from it. But he shook his head and added more of his precious water!
As the Clay content was high he had to mix them well for the sand to integrate into it. He didn't forget to put the—Sparkling Black Sand and two White Sands, hoping for better results.
Then he brought one of the Small Steel Buckets and placed it at the centre of the thick mix and pressed it inside. The mix poured up to the side and the bucket sank at the centre!
He sighed, confirming everything is fine, he left it to dry. When it was half dried he removed the bucket, now its centre was a grotto in the shape of the small Steel Bucket he pressed inside!
He picked the smallest Steel Bowl which was a cup with a spiky bottom and began twisting it at the lower side of the large Steel bucket, the one that contained a half-dried clay-sand mixture.
It wasn't easy. If not that the largest steel bucket wasn't the most resilient he would have spent the day twisting before he made a hole at the side.
At the same time, the cup's spiky bottom was damaged.
With a smile, he punctured a hole passing through the Steel Bucket and semi-solid mixture. Now, there was a hole from the side of the Steel Bucket to its centre. He left it to dry solid. As the clay was good, it was becoming hard!
The Foundry was finished! It wasn't perfect, but it will do the job!
He then took the small spiky cup that he used as a drill. Its bottom has cracked and opened.

"Turn the broken cup into a pipe"
[Generating…]
It took some time but it did the job. Elias held what he now called a metal pipe in his hand with a smile.
As he waited for the mixture to completely dry, he began making something else after he took a rest!
He gathered fine sand in one spot and clay in another spot.
He had already piled the charcoal he had been saving from the firewood he had set the previous days.
He dug through the sand and pulled some unused pelts, some were made into tweeds but he was going to use them for his plan.
Checking the condition of the pelts he was a little satisfied. He unfurled the tweeds and took the strips. Among the pelt, the good one was 3m long and about 2m wide. There were some small holes but they weren't a problem.
He used a rudimentary razor he made to cut it into three. Elias now has three 3m long pelts. He used a needle he made and punctured a small hole on either side of one of three long pelts.
He then used the strips he got from the tweeds and passed them through the hole from one end, sewing the two sides together. The strips weren't enough, so turned, one of the two remaining pelts into long strips.
In the end, Elias made what seemed like a 3m long tube. If it can ever be called a tube. But with the Wand, it can be perfected.
"Tangible Items"
"Turn the tube-like leather work into a tube without small holes!"
[Tangible Items]
[Generating…]
It took what seemed to be an hour before the Elias tube disappeared and appeared as a polished leather tube.
Elias smiled with satisfaction!
After playing around with the 3m long tube, he attached one end of the tube with the metal pipe he made earlier.
"Tangible Items"
"Fasten the Leather tube and Metal pipe"
[Tangible Items]
[Generating…]
It took only a minute and the items didn't disappear, the tube mouth just seemed to integrate into the metal tube. Checking there was no problem, he set them aside.
He used the bag that he poured its water content to make the Foundry Blower, after a little work it was to his liking. He attached the non-metal end of the tube in the bag which was the Blower now.
He then slid the metal pipe into the hole he made into the side of the foundry to see if it feat.
It was a pass!
The leather Blower was emptied of air and has no holes that air may pass through unless the one prepared. Elias attached the Blower to the ground. He used his hand to pull it up, which allowed air to pass through an Inlet close to where Elias's hand was clenching.
The way the Blower was positioned made air not flow in through the tube!
And when the Blower was filled with air, he closed the Inlet with his thumb and fingers and pushed the air-filled Blower, the air was forced to flow through the leather tube till it reached the Metal Pipe which was the Outlet!
And the Metal Pipe was in the Foundry, the air would blow in and increase the intensity of the burning charcoal!
"Woohoo! I never thought I would make this thing. Haha. I know, I did suffer a lot, more than the blacksmith of the old ages."
He knew he was lying, he has a cheat that is called a Wand.
"At least they were born in that Era and me in this Era. To them, it was normal as they didn't have any tools to ease it up.
But I know there are machines that all you have to do is throw Ore and everything will be done for you. And I keep thinking of them and that makes my heart hurt because of all this hardship!"
His justification is lame but it's what it is.
Elias finished admiring his construct and slumped on the sand with a smile. Tomorrow will be the starting day for forging!
He eats drinks and saves his piss. Looking at the night sky, Elias saw many birds patching onto the Force-field Dome.
Today's experiment confirmed his assumption—practically making something Good brought about Better improvement by the Wand. Making something Poor brought about barely passable improvement.
That was why he was working hard to make Good Ingots which he would use to forge Better Equipment.
Another thing was, the Wand can't make things it didn't know. He had to practically do it and then it can be used to make a better replica.
He sighed and closed his eyes to sleep. The next moment he woke up, the Sun was glaring at him.
Due to exhaustion, he felt the night pass faster than usual!
