Chapter 578: Style teaching

"What a fascinating crafting style. I have never even thought of something like it!" Hephaestus gushed over the golden ring sitting on the anvil that Nick had just created in front of her. It had been a week since the daedra was born and Nick decided he should stop putting off showing the goddess his crafting styles. It had become glaringly obvious that she was probably going to be a part of his life for a long time so his secrets would get out to her eventually anyways.-

Rather than deal with her bugging him all the time to figure out what he did and how Nick chose to just directly show her so that he could relax and craft in peace. This brings us back the the current moment when he was showing her the first crafting style he had , the Celebrimbor style. Technically the style could be renamed since according to the elf lord himself Nick had already transformed it from what it once was so it can't even be considered the same thing anymore. Nick refused to do so however as he firmly believed that the original name the style got stayed the name of it regardless of what it turned into so the original name stuck even now.-

She then pressed her finger onto the ring on the anvil and Nick threw up a shield immediately to cover them as the ring exploded from conflicting energies and the overloading of them. Hephaestus frowned at this "Why did it detonate?" she asked confused since she followed what he said to the letter. "I should have explained a few rules that need to be understood first. To be fair I wasn't expecting you to figure out the basics after a simple explanation though" Nick said with a sigh.-

He then explained the rules that came with the crafting style such as finished enchantments being unable to be added to as well as how the enchantment has to be eased into the item rather than shoved in all at once as it will damage the item or outright destroy it if it wasn't strong enough. There were a few more rules as well that he explained that had to do with the organic material enchantments as well as the few things he has discovered about the style outside of crafting like the soul sense.-

Hephaestus was a stupid fast learner which Nick wasn't sure was because she was a god or not but allowed her to grasp the foundation of the style within a mere couple of hours. After that he showed her the more advanced techniques like the body dispersal forging technique and the enchantment chains that strung multiple things together into a single complex enchantment. She ended up surprising him with a sneaky peck on the cheek after he got done teaching her the parts he could. That simple action left his mind in chaos for the rest of the day much to her amusement.
