Chapter 475: Ballad enchantments
The next morning after breakfast Nick got to work on enchanting the pauldrons with an environmental protection enchantment much like his self created space suit had. Nick didn't want this suit of armor to grant him greater strength in combat but rather to allow him to go anywhere he wanted without issue. Each and every enchantment on the pieces of the armor served this purpose in some way including the ones on the gauntlets. With the pauldrons environmental protection added to the set this armor would become the ultimate tool for exploration and travel once he finished the cuirass.-
The six words he used for the pauldrons enchantment were ranta , cu`ma(void) , lelime(travel) , varna(safe) , roban(wilderness) and berthas(adventure). This was the highest amount of elvish runes he had ever used for an enchantment other than when he was creating the Arda Milme ring and it showed. The final product took most of his energy to create and was nearing the middle point of the mythical grade which was quite good all things considered. 'All that's left is the cuirass and then this armor will be complete. It's going to be a bit difficult to complete on my own though.' Nick thought with a frown.-nôvel binz was the first platform to present this chapter.
Such an enchantment was impossible to truly hide as it was a worldly affair and was broadcast widely from the source of origin. This means that unlike last time if the range of effect for this broadcast reached far enough then people could attack him in the worst way possible through it as they wouldn't be as caught off guard as the previous one. By singing the song of creation previously Nick had unlocked the ability to actively ballad enchant but refused to do so until now out of caution. This armor however deserved nothing less and so he had chosen to do so for the first time actively.-
"Your home on the island should suffice to muffle the ballads range thanks to the wards you have placed there , though I know not to what degree." Celebrimbor said solemnly. The old elf was the only person in this world who truly understood what ballad enchantments were as well as what they meant besides Nick. Due to this he did not blame Nick at all for not using them more and was just as concerned about potential attacks as Nick himself.-
The most famous attack on one singing a ballad enchantment was during the very creation of his own world after all by Morgoth who corrupted all of creation and tainted many higher spirits. One of which was his lieutenant and later the very one that killed Celebrimbor and his family while perverting his creations , Sauron. So the old elf was intimately familiar with the horrible things that could occur during the ballads singing. The rise of another Sauron through Nicks corruption was a possibility that he was very aware and afraid of as a result.
