Rivyn stood in his crafting room, staring at the assortment of materials he had laid out on his workbench. Today was the first time he was attempting to craft a bow. He had already mastered various weapons, but bows were entirely new territory for him. Still, he felt confident. If anything, his experience in blacksmithing and accessory crafting would serve him well.
The most intriguing material in his collection was the arcane thread—a shimmering silver fiber that seemed almost alive, faint traces of mana coursing through its length. It was a rare find, only dropped by specific monsters, and Rivyn had never looted monsters himself. The discovery that such a material existed had surprised him, but he'd quickly seized the opportunity to purchase a few bundles from the auction.
"Durable and mana-conductive," Rivyn muttered, running his fingers along the thread. "Perfect for bowstrings."
