Assuming the Fae of Auriel share the same aversion to iron as those of the Feywild from where I am from, I am offering to craft temporary weapons and tools from non-iron materials for anyone preparing for the mission. My trade lies in metalwork, with modest skill in wood and leather. Brass, bronze, bone, horn, or seasoned wood are all suitable.

Time before departure is limited, so I can only take a few commissions.

Separately, I am pursuing a personal project involving spell storage and glyphcraft. If anyone has experience in such work, I would appreciate a private exchange of ideas.

Spell storage. Yes. Imagine carving a channel or building a vessel that can hold a spell the same way a bottle can hold wine. The magic sits dormant until the moment you uncork it, then it releases exactly as intended. That is the theory, at least.

I am unable to charge the vessels myself. I lack the necessary arcane spark. But I can craft the casings, the grooves, the layered conduits that give the spell somewhere stable to rest. Runes behave like architecture. If you build the structure soundly enough, someone else’s magic can take shelter inside it without tearing the place apart.

Think of it as preparing a home for a spell, then handing the key to someone far more gifted than I am.

oh. i didn't know that was something you could do. but i guess in some ways it sort of makes sense? that could be really useful! i'm not sure how much help i would be at making something like that, but i can use magic if you want to practice if i cast some spells for you?
