Rune carving- 1 mana cost per five minutes

The user uses their mana to flow through a specified carving tool and carve away metal, wood, and other materials to create a rune. The rune quality is dependent on the users\' understanding of the rune. The more mana used when carving will cause the rune to be engraved deeper or shallower in what is being carved. When this skill is used in tandem with the rune sense skill the user is able to carve runes double the speed with higher quality.\'

Walker did not even look at this skill. He was too busy watching the newly created light rune on the piece of scrap metal start to glow slightly. He could feel the light elemental mana coming toward it and attempt to gather. Since there was nothing for the mana to gather in to it just condense in the immediate area. Onyx found this very pleasant and began to absorb the light elemental mana. He had been watching and learning this while time while also commenting with the wandering blacksmith\'s advice here and there. 

"My first rune is done. It only took half my life." Walker was laughing at his own joke as he tried to straighten and relax his finger. The wandering blacksmith clapped him on the back in congratulations. It was a strange feeling since the comparison of the work they had been doing was night and day. Walker had managed to finally carve one rune in the time it took the wandering blacksmith to carve many on to many new tools. This was the level of experience that separated them. 

" Now I understand why you are so driven. You must have practiced for hours on end t master these runes and you can use them to your will now. I can\'t wait to see what you end up doing after you learn draconic runes." The pair were both excited by the draconic runes. But it would take a longer time for the wandering blacksmith to learn them and put them in to use here. There was the potential that they would be used on Walker\'s armor for when he went to the main dragon village along with his new weapon if need be. 

There was no way that Walker could stay and keep working on runes for more hours. It also appeared that the wandering blacksmith had more or less finished the new set of centennial ice carving tools. They all had a frost layer on them but more interestingly they seemed to be controlled and calm. The mana that they held was a very consistent water elemental feeling similar to a silent cool day of winter. 

"Calming snow set." Walker was about to ask the name of the tool set and the wandering blacksmith had the sixth sense to say it out loud. He had long thought of the name while making the first hammer and was very happy with his work. This was much more than he had imagined he would be making when he was in the mountains. He even had goals now to make other elemental sets to forge with which would give him a better control when he made elemental items. 

"It\'s a fitting name for sure. Can\'t wait to see what you make with it. Whether it\'s used to cool an item while you work or completely create something water elemental, I know it will be of the highest quality." The praise was welcomed since they both knew just how good these tools were. 

The pair started to clean their mess and decided to call it a day. The night had already long come and they were feeling the drain of energy due to their constant work and training. When they left the forge they found that the clearing at the center of the dragon village was now occupied by the dragonkin carpenters creating something. 

"Lord, I am honored you would come to see our work on your flying basket. Lady Illia told us that you would be carried by her, personally, home and that she would never touch anything makeshift and ugly. Therefore, we have created a basket to carry you and your companions. By the morning it will be ready to depart whenever you desire." The dragonkin was holding a few tools and appeared very excited. 

The craftsmanship of the large basket was truly impeccable. There were carvings that made it seem to be a piece of art instead of just a basket. The wood was definitely taken from a very old and large tree to become this and Walker was amazed that they were able to find it to carve from. 

"This is a surprise, I didn\'t realize you would make something like this just for us. Your hard work is appreciated. I will see if we can leave sooner so that we can enjoy this to the fullest." Walker\'s words were like a shot of adrenaline. The dragonkin carpenters began to visibly move faster. This was one of the fastest works they had been asked to make and they were giving it their heart and soul. Not many dragonkin carpenters had the chance to make a single thing for a royal. It was an honor that they would brag about their entire lives.
