"This is awesome!" Phillard studied his new and improved axes under the sunlight. "Or rather, these babies are awesome! How do you upgrade them so easily every time, Ruler Menadion?"
"That's simple." She said with false modesty. "I had you tell me in advance all the enchantments you wanted on the final product. I planned the best version possible of your weapons and then downgraded them to the currently available materials.
"All I have to do when you bring a new bounty is to fill the spaces I left blank in the power core on purpose or replace its useless but stable runes with working ones."
"You could at least tell me the proper upgrade order, though." The Lindwurm grunted. "My axes shattered in the middle of the fight more than once because they were unable to withstand the strength of their own enchantments!"
"The deal is one upgrade per bounty." Menadion tutted. "You pick the upgrade, I do the job. The consequences are on you."
