having not gone past the kitchen Mitch got exited by the evolution so went exploring past it
after a couple of turns and hiding from undead later he found a door in the distance going up to it it was a huge and thick metal doors with damage made by swords arrows and soot.
looking down he saw tattered clothing caved in skulls bone splinters shattered swords and bows and a skeleton with a robe and broken wand
trying to open the door It wouldn't budge trying to chew through it didn't work acid barely did anything so he had to get a better plan
so heading back home and grabbing a book off a shelf he started to look through it
how did he get a book his size you might think we'll he got this one when he evolved the book was called "rune smithing and rituals for beginners"

mich was surprised by so many news now he gets more stat points and the needle has stats now!? if there's hidden features like this what else a bit of time later mich though it whould best if he used stat and skill points
so he put 1.5 in defense and 2 in vitality and 1 in strength for the skills he upgraded the mana core and imbue rune
mana 10/10 →→ 20/20
now getting back to the book it showed a bunch of recipes and pictures for runes but mich found two in particular that could be used together in a ritual
it was a heating rune described as
"a heat of a low level fireball in a single rune perfect for cooking" and it was a bit pricy
the recipe was:
1.flat stone carved in it deeply with a rune of blaze(looks like a bunch of squiggly lines in a shape of fire)
2.blood of a monster
3.yellow slime gel (fairly weak creature common found anywhere and loves eating on corpses so it's easy to find them in the castle)
4.mix the gel and blood to 3:1 ratio until you get a thick paste
5.fill in the grooves with the thick paste and imbue it with mana
and the second one was amplification rune
described as "commonly used in barriers uses 5 runes or more connected by runewire, combines the effects into one focused spot and slightly amplifies the effect the recipe was:
1 flat stone with a rune of amplification on it ( a circle with a circle in it connected together with lines)
2. hammer in five bone splinters (preferably human buT monster works too)
3 grind up dry hollow root ( a plant that looks like a skull head but flat)
4.add sapphire dust and blood of a dead man living
rune wire described as " a medium level wire with great magic conductivity used to make complex rune circuits or rituals" the recipe was:
1. get twine
2.get monster blood
3. let the twine soak in all the blood adding pinch of sapphire dust daly for a week
4.let the sun dry the twine
5. imbue it with mana until the sapphire glows bright blue
now most of the items could be found easily but for now he heeded to harvest the rat skinning it he took the fur of it drying the meat and organs and putting them in clay jars
taking the bones splintering the third of them powdering another third and keeping the other third normally (for future recipes)
then he drained all the blood into a barrel with a rune of preservation (turns out this one needs nothing but monster blood)
and as for the sapphire powder no self respecting rune Smith leaves without it so he took it from the dead wizard at the door and got some small splinters too
now he had to get ready to collect some zombie blood and kill a slime but before that he collected some hollow root from a small shelf of option ingredients in a small closet
after a couple of hours of nonstop work and he had finally made the application rune
