Chapter 150: Ambitious project

The next day was a rather important one for Nick as he was finally going to attempt making a ring wraith. It was little surprise that Helena had eagerly offered to serve as a guinee pig in this endeavor without any hesitation. Thanks to the detailed knowledge of the crafting style Nick knew that the ring itself didn't need to be very powerful in order to create and maintain a ring wraith. In fact the rings given to the humans barely had any powerful enchantments at all. First and foremost was that the wearers were invisible as their bodies resided in the astral realm.-

Only their spirits walked the world in a physical manner and as a result they did not age as time bore no meaning in the astral realm. Nick's rings instead could directly skip placing the physical bodies in the astral realm and focus on the physical spirit aspect of the rings. The second ability that all the rings of power that made the ring wraiths had was that it allowed normal mortals to become powerful sorcerers by tying their power to Sauron's. Once again Nick could skip this aspect as one of the prerequisites for becoming a ghost was being magical.-

It was for this reason that there weren't far more ghost around since muggles tend to die with unfinished business as well as strong rejection of passing on which were the other requirements for the formation of a ghost. Instead he was planning on tying the rings to him in such a way that they fell off should the ghost wearing them turn against him. With the requirements to create a ring wraith ring having been lowered so much thanks to these reasons Nick guessed that he may be able to create a ring wraith with his crafting ability far bellow Celebrimbor or Sauron's.-

The biggest hurtle for him however was that unlike both of them his energy pool was vastly inferior in quantity. Celebrimbor was an elf over a thousand years old while Sauron was basically an immortal fallen angel. Needless to say a a soul equivalent to a fourteen year old's in age didn't hold much in the form of power in comparison. Nick's soul would be worth nearly thirty years had his memories and knowledge of his previous life not been stripped from it. The term "knowledge is power" applied quite literally in the case of wizards in this world.-

A a wizard learns and grows older their souls grow stronger naturally so the twenty sevenish years of knowledge would have made Nick's soul considerably stronger had they not been stripped from him. Quality of soul however is an entirely different matter as right now Nick's soul was fusing with the spirit of the celestial bird while also becoming elven in nature making it qualitatively superior to any normal wizards soul by many tiers. This qualitative difference is what allowed Nick to learn so fast as otherwise he would be only a bit above average in terms of learning talent.-

Once solid and work able again Nick placed the sphere on the anvil before immediately hammering it flat on two sides like a coin. It was much thicker than a coin of course but the idea remains the same. He then carefully began to create a hole in the center in order to turn the metal into a ring. He needed to put the metal back in the furnace to become workable once again but managed to finally get a hole through the center of it finally.-

He then started to shape the metal into a simple band ring while being careful not to stress the metal too much and cause cracks. After an hour of work he was done with this and could finally try and enchant the ring. He started to glow filling the room with a bright gold and white radiance that soon was focused on his hand and hammer. "GUL!"(wraith) He spoke and struck the ring with his full intent and knowledge of what he wanted. The ring hummed and a fuzzy elvish word briefly shone next to it. "SORNA!"(steadfast) He spoke another word upon his next strike causing both to appear next to the ring that was humming even more intensely.-

"NEM!"(appear) he struck yet again causing three words to appear next to the ring and Nick repeatedly chanted these words as he struck the ring again and again. After about three more hours of work he finally felt the rebound of energy that signified that the enchantment had fully binded to the ring and spoke one last word with his final strike "NAZGUL!"(ring-wraith). The ring stopped humming after that and sat on the anvil radiating a cold blue shine off of it as it waited for someone to use it.
