The Fires Of Hephaestus (Senri Forge/crafting/open)

[Deleted]

Adjacent to the Senri Lightning Dojo is a cave that goes deeper into the winding caldera walls of Kumogakure. Following these starcases down leads to a massive forge room. There in the center was a massive electric furnace. Everything in the building was powered by a massive generator that ran off of a powerful lightning current that came coursing through the forges into a bank of batteries. The truth was that all the lightning chakra both natural and chakra that was coursed through the grounded dojo found its way into a battery bank in the caldera walls. 

Here the students can use the powers and the efforts of their training to create something tangible. The Dojo master Shiki Senri has spared no expense in the creation of the forge and the smithy finding the best forge money could buy. There is not a single tool a smith could want that is not present in the massive smithy.

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Bokken Tachi - Chestnut (Katana)
Rank: "D"
Type: Main, Bludgeoning, Sword
Effect: A weapon with a long wood blade and a hilt with a hand guard.
Special: Hardness: 6; Armour Points/Inch: 10; Armour Class: -2
Gem Slot # 1: Empty; Gem Slot #2: Empty: Gem Slot #3: Empty
Drawback: ---
Description: A One-Handed Weapon. These weapons do +8 Amour Points of Damage. A longsword (also spelled long sword, long-sword) is a type of sword characterized as having a cruciform hilt with a grip for two handed use and a straight double-edged blade of around 100–122 cm (39–48 in). The longsword is characterised not so much by a longer blade, but by a longer grip, which indicates a weapon designed for 2-handed use or 1-handed use. These Bokken are Japanese wooden swords used for training. It is usually the size and shape of a katana, but is sometimes shaped like other swords, such as the wakizashi and tantō. Some ornamental bokken are decorated with mother-of-pearl work and elaborate carvings. While its use has several advantages over use of a live edged weapon, it can still be deadly, and any training with a bokken should be done with due care. Injuries occurring from bokken are very similar to those caused by clubs and similar battering weapons and include compound fractures, ruptured organs, and other such blunt force injuries. In some ways, a bokken can be more dangerous as the injuries caused are often unseen and inexperienced practitioners may underestimate the risk of harm. It is not a sparring weapon, but is intended to be used in kata and to acclimate the student to the feel of a real sword.

Ryutatsu using his knowledge of Katana to design and make a mold of what he wanted to make. This would be his first test of making a katana. He was not use to making wooden items as he was about making metal items. But as a thanks to the Senri dojo he was going to make them an awesome wooden Bokken. Once the materials and tools were in hand Ryutatsu made his way to the forge. 

It had the proper carving and shaping tools he needed. So there he began the long manual process of carving an intricate wooden Bokken. His chosen wood at this point was the common wood known as Chestnut. His manipulation of metal meant while his hands were carving one piece his powers could carve another piece. 

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Post 2

Ryutatsu continued with detailed an loving carving into the weapon's blade and hilt. It had detailed rose and storm pattern carved into it. It was his craftsman mark for this particular sword he was creating. It was a small thing but everyone started somewhere. Into the base of the hilt he carved his initials in a stylized format to place his name into it. This one was a gift on his way of improving his crafting skills.

Armor attempting to be made: 

T.A.L.O.S Chest armor (Perfected Mithral)
Rank: "S"
Type: Main, Protection, Armour
Effect: Armour created to protect the torso of the wearer. 
Special: Enchantment bonus of +10 hardness and +50 AP. 
Drawback: Should the user fall asleep in said armor they make wake up and find themselves covered in beautiful women. 
Description: The superior make of the armor and fit of makes the armor light as a feather. The armor is a intricate culmination of machine and steel. It's modular components and layered protections allow the implementation of several gadgets within the system itself. The Armor is covered in a dark matte black paint but there are engravings that revealed the soft glimmer of the bright metal underneath. The etchings were depictions of lightning and monsters. Images of direwolves, hydras and dragons. The armor is enchanted in such a way that when the command "Stand aside" is given the audience will become kind to the user unless they pass a will save of 35. The armor is matte black and can be painted to blend into other environments. There are 8 slots on the inside of the armor for harness gems to be contained. Total hardness is 25 total Armor points is 120 Armor class is 2. 
Limit: This armor was made by Shiki Senri. 
Cost: 835,312 Ryo

Material used: 

Mithral
Rank: "A"
Type: Main, Mineral, Special Material
Effect: Special material used to create light full body armour while applying silver mechanics to weapons against Damage Reduction.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Identification: Easy; Hardness: 15; Armour Points/Inch: 30; Armour Class: -4. An item made from Mithral weighs significantly less than the same item made from other metals. It is strong enough however, to not alter the weapon’s size category, or the ease with which it can be wielded.Mithral is a very rare silvery, glistening metal that is lighter than steel but just as hard. When worked like steel, it becomes a wonderful material from which to create armor, and is occasionally used for other items as well. Mithral armour reduces Armour Class by -4 per Armour Piece for the purposes of movement and other limitations. A character wearing full mithral armour will not suffer the same Armour Penalty Checks, Movement Loss, and Handseal loss as they normally would with steel arour. Items not primarily of metal are not meaningfully affected by being partially made of mithral. (A longsword can be a mithral weapon, while a quarterstaff cannot.) Mithral weapons count as silver for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
Limit: These items may be bought inside any Weapon Shop.
Cost: +10,000 Ryo per Weapon; +60,000 Ryo per Armour Piece/ +9,000 Ryo per Helmet.

Post 3 488/500

Ryutatsu took one look at the wooden Bokken and sighed. It wasn't quite right and he realized it was because he needed to put a blunt edge on it. Even though it wasn't a sharpen blade like on most swords it still needed the shape. So he carefully carved the finishing touches onto the sword. It was a Katana but not a Katana. This was a practice sword to be used by the students who needed to learn how to handle a real sword. This was a Bokken Tachi made out of chestnut wood.

Shiki smiled as it was time for him to get started on his next creation. It was finally time to light up that forge and get things rolling. The very first thing that he had to do was to break the crate open that was going to contain all material that he had just ordered. Shiki started to work on moving the heavy ingots of the shiny ore out of the boxes and moved them to the work table where he could start tinkering. Shiki picked up the first ingot and weighed it. The metal was surprisingly light. Like shockingly light.

[Deleted]

Post 2/86

Shiki smiled as he picked up the ingot and tossed the big object up in the air as if it was nothing more than an apple or an orange. Shiki picked up the ingot and pulled out a knife and slowly brought the blade of the knife against the ingot. As he moved the blade across it he felt the razer sharp edge glide off the steel as if it had no friction. Shiki looked at the knife and saw that the edge of the blade was already starting to become dulled just from being in contact with the steel. Shiki smiled. This was gonna be great.

Post 3

Shiki would need to stress test the material some more so he grabbed a hold of the metal and took the blade. He brought it down hard and sharp against the ingot and watched as the knife bounced off of the ingot itself and blunted the sharp thrusting point of the knife. Shiki smiled as he got to work on the next part of his creation. The blade was seemingly ineffective in even getting close to making a scratch on the steel. It was time to see how it could handle some different forms of damage.

[Deleted]

Post 4/86

Shiki grabbed the ingot of steel and moved it over inbetween to adamentine vice grips that would be able to hold onto the ingot long enough so that someone who didn't have any other method of carrying the ingot would be able to work on it without any sort of metallic warping. Shiki moved over to his table and grabbed a heavy iron hammer. It was more meant for cabinetry but Shiki wanted to see how the weapon would stress test against something that carried a bit more force behind it. 

[Deleted]

Post 5/86

Shiki then grabbed the hammer and felt its weight and felt the grip that was around the edge of the tool. He stretched a bit and brought the hammer down as hard as he could against the ingot. There was a reverberation and a high pitched piercing sound as Shiki watched the metal for any signs on impression. Yet there was nothing. Shiki listened as the noise died down in the forge. He sighed and took another swing and listened to the reverberation and a high pitched piercing sound again. 

[Deleted]

Post 6/86

Shiki could hear something in the reverberation. it was something faint but it was calling to him nonetheless. Without any effort his bloodlimit simply came alive as he watched the static field around the metal. Shiki understood what was going on now. The reason why the metal was so strong was because this wasn't ordinary metal. Shiki watched as the magnetic field of the metal seemingly warped under his gaze. The metal seems to be reactionary to force. Tightening as it comes into combat.

[Deleted]

Post 7

Shiki watched as he slowly tried to manipulate the electric field to see what he could about the metals composite make up. It seemed the the metal was something close to a metallic composition of something really close to a spiders web. Shiki watched with some excitement as he started making a series of handseals in order to make a small orb of electromagnetic energies. Shiki watched as he started to apply force against the ingot. Shiki started to push with his own magnetism against it. 

[Deleted]

Post 8

Shiki watched with fascination as he started looking through the electron cloud that was moving around the ingot. Shiki smiled as he watched how tightly packed the static field was as he sifted through it with his blood limit. He simply held his hands out and started to sort through its molecular composition as he tried to figure out more and more what this strange monster of metal was as he tried to understand its relative strength as well as try to understand how it got such a strength naturally. 

[Deleted]

Post 9

Shiki smiled as he looked through the metal and realized why this rare metal was worth more then its weight in gold. Hell it was worth more then 10 times its weight in gold. Shiki started working more and more with the electron cloud as he looked around inside of the metal looking for more information. From what Shiki could tell right now the metal was not simply one piece but hundreds and hundreds of different types of microscopic interplay between the metals alloys. Shiki smiled as he wrote this down.  

[Deleted]

Post 10

Shiki smiled as he looked at the metal as he started working through his tools for something else that he might be able to use to get a better idea at what was going on within the metal. Shiki finally opened up one of the smaller instruments and started to look through the assortments of different items. Finally he found a small box that contained a microscope. He pulled out the microscope and set it out on the table. Shiki looked at the ingot and gave a small sigh. He was going to need to get a piece of that metal off.

[Deleted]

Post 11/86

Shiki sighed as he looked at the ingot. How could he get a small piece of this metal off of this ingot. Shiki realized that the only way that this metal would become anywhere close to malleable was through the longest and more difficult way of course would be to try and break it down with his own chakra. Luckily he hand his own equipment. Shiki moved the small ingot into the lightning forge. Shiki set the temperature on the dial as he waited for for the machine to whirl alive. Shiki watched as the machine's lights came on. 

[Deleted]

Post 12/86

Shiki watched as the small blinking red light slowly turned into a green one as he watched the machine whirl to life. Shiki started flipping the switches turning dials and all sorts of other nonsense. Shiki smiled as he started looking at the machine as it whirled to fruition. Shiki watched as the machine suddenly came alive as lightning started arcing across the roof to the ingot below. Shiki smiled as the machine started to drop lightning all around the side of the glass containing the ingot. 

[Deleted]

13/86

Shiki watched as the lightning was coming arcing out of the side of the machine. Small static sparks here or there. Nothing exactly lethal. But the lightning that was coming around was breath taking. Shiki moved over to the table and sat down and watched the lightning arc all around the side of the machine as the smell of ozone started to faintly fill the room. Shiki had vents that ran from the inside of the mountain that was pumping the harmful gas out of the room and venting it outside.
