Shoda's professionalism was one of the man's hallmarks, and Willilam appreciated the man's straightforward attitude. He expected a certain amount of bluster from larger shops or more inexperienced blacksmiths. But if Shoda said that he could work with ancient dragon's blood, William knew that the man could do it.
"Excellent," William said and put the jar of dragon's blood on the workbench next to the breastplate.
"In order to explain to you what I'm hoping to do, I need to tell you a bit about the dragon who's heart this came from. She was one of the great old dragons, and possessed of tremendous power. It took a cadre of powerful warriors to bring here down. Even so, an entire town in Alerar was reduced to rubble in the process."
"The reason for this was that the dragon had the ability to absorb energy, transform and amplify it, and to turn it back on us more powerful than before."
William shuddered as he remembered the dragon-mother simply absorbing a normal attack of magical water and using that powered up energy to flood the town and reduce it to a swirling whirlpool of destruction. He'd been caught in that whirlpool and had nearly been crushed to paste by the maelstrom of debris that had been caught up inside with him.
"I'm not entirely sure how all this works," William gesterured to Shoda and his shop, "so I'm not entirely sure what capabilities I can expect to draw from the blood. It was my hope that as the dragon's dying heartsblood it would possess a fraction of the dragon's ability."
A wry smile pulled at the corner of William's mouth. "And perhaps for some of the dragon's toughness to be infused into the armor along with that ability."
OOC:
First, I'm looking to have the armor enchanted with the ability to absorb energy from the wearer and infuse it into all of the wearer's other weapons and armor. For example, using my Burning Attacks ability to cover my arms and leg carapace in lava-like molten fire the armor would allow me to cover my weapons with that same fire.
Second, if possible, I'd like to have the armor upgraded to ancient dragonbone quality. I know that's not normally possible in the bazaar, but I windered if since I completed the dragon quest I could use the item for that bonus. If that's not possible, then upgrade the the armor to top-tier prevalida.
Thanks
