It is partly some oddities (why did Bleak do any of the forging), plus this would be the second/third Occulithar cards we’ve ever seen reforged.

Carrarn

Irwin did reforge the one he got from Greldo, remember? That one was far more extreme than these, so my idea was it made more sense to show that one. That said, I've made a note of this in my list, and I'll reevaluate during editing :)

Carrarn

There's a reason for that which we will find out soonish

Carrarn

I'll try and make some time to re-read it today - make sure to let me know if you find a chapter like this! Thanks :)

I'm kind of interested to see if Irwin is capable of economical reforging - how much can he improve a set of lower-level cards while keeping them lower-level, without spending a massive amount of time, effort, or soulforce to do so. There was a hint of that idea back in the Granvox Academy chapters, where the professor gave advice on how to tailor a 100% card towards aspects that a regular person could use (high skill vs more power). Alternatively, it might be interesting to see if he can pick up any new insights from the way her other cards were built and slotted, or the fact that he is purpose-crafting a whole hand. Or perhaps we could get some of Su's memories comparing Irwin to previous smiths' crafting, to see how far Irwin has come. If those are not in the cards (pun intended), and there's no personal growth to be had, might as well move on to the completion and see how it turned out.

constitution, I should ==> constitution, you should

Antony Claughton

Can’t wait until they realise that Su and her father could provide rune crafting. I’m surprised she didn’t ask for cards that would allow her to continue the family business.

Antony Claughton

There have been now a number of references to what happened with the reforging of the Occulithar card. Would it have been better to simply show us rather than have it occur off camera?

Stephen Pearson

Thanks for the chapter, really enjoyed it! That said, it would, um... Benefit from an extra editing pass:-p

Carrarn

LOL! should have been - al of them, but there must have been a typo and Grammarly has an odd tendency on how it fixes things :p

Ahh, such a good chapter. I am curious what Rindiri will divulge to the elders. Happy to see her people getting a second chance. They will be strong citizens / defenders of Eluthar given time.

Edit: Imagine if I would create thousands of low-rank Ganvils and could communicate with aloof the?! - did Ambraz have a stroke? The end of that sentence is gibberish 😜

I like detailed reforging but I don't see how this situation is special. Unless you are going to make her a special rune forging heart card, just give us the moment she gets the cards

Nicholas Del Rossi

Now I’m just going over all the different things about card reforging that I like in my head I like the stats I like the process I like finding the cards and discovering what they do both before and after the reforging process, I like the reactions other characters and Irwin and Ambroz themselves have to I like the conversation conversations about how they work and their potential and well everything

Nicholas Del Rossi

I want all the information on all the cards through all of their stages, please! OK, that might be a bit too greedy, but I really like looking at the cards and their abilities and how they work together , I also really like the whole forging process, Irwin’s point of view when he is forging is always extremely interesting the way you write it, whether he’s extremely focused and reviewing it from outside, perspectives before meeting his, or completely engrossed in his own perspective as he comes up with ideas and ways to execute on them with Ambroz, they are always top notch!

I'd personally want details, as limiting himself to a lower rank card seems interesting, and not like something Irwin has done before. Would also juxtapose nicely with the crazy complexity of the Yuurindi's Ammolite

Black Rose

Detailed reforging+ results

Darune Albane

Love how MC will spend his time to help

Carrarn

Super early release because I'll be out in the city tonight. Reply if you want detailed reforging + result, or just the moment where she gets her heartcard?

Albert Benny Oliyakkattil

Tftc!
