Aksai returned to the workbench, where he had laid out various molds and casting tools.
He selected a long, narrow mold suitable for a heavy sword and prepared it for casting. Once the meteor stone pieces were sufficiently heated, he carefully poured the lava-like matter into the mold, watching as it filled the intricate channels and began to take shape.
The process was meticulous, but Aksai worked with quiet determination, his mind focused on the result. After the mold was filled, he allowed it to cool slightly before submerging it into the cooling trough. Steam hissed and rose as the hot matter met the enchanted water, solidifying into a rough stone sword.
He removed the cooled blade from the mold, admiring its form. The blade's surface shimmered faintly with silver veins, a sign of its Qi-conductive properties.
