Making magic armor was relatively easy. Saleen's manipulation of the water flame was getting more skilful and Lex brought along a huge amount of blueprints. He did not have to design them himself anymore and he did not need to take a roundabout way to make them according to the blueprints straightaway. Lex's magic armor blueprint was a secret among the Grukos royals.
Summoning a mechanical soul was very troublesome, but the three Kings did not reject and they hated Saleen to bones. If the mechanical soul could cause a disaster in the Myers Mainland, they would be even happier.
