Personal record

After nearly being killed by lighting in the mountains of Edan, I discovered some of my items fell and was struck.
What I found was a a small amount of melted silver ore but it had a quality I can not explain.

This is nagging at me and I need to research to see if it can be useful for anything.

With the help of the cooking teacher, Shiela M, I think this stands a great chance of working...

Our first attempt nearly cost us our lives...
The second attempt foamed over changing the tips of my boots purplish orange. I had to laugh when Shiela said it was a facion statement.

Sheila M: so what is it for?
Sheila M: what use will it be suited for?
Sheila M: *backs up*
vvSilverShadowvv: Well I'm goign to faction a bow out of this.

We cleaned up the mess and started over...

Each time we come a little closer to re creating the original piece, things look hopeful. I just hope for no more fashion statments.

At one point I thought I was going to be dead, the melted metal splashed on my armor just below my neck, I almost could not pick the piece off when it cooled.

I knew I was getting close when a puff of blue smoke came out of the pot and bellowed out the doors. I saw that when the lightning struck while I was in the mountains.

The melted ore and mixtures are ready. I tested a small amount in an earthen mold and it looks and has the same feel as the original.

Time for the final step, pouring, shaping and final testing...

I'm going to name this Celebgul Cu when it is finally ready.

After hours of shaping a mold, I was finally able to pour the melted metal in the earthen mold to let cool and begin smoothing.

As I just puttng the melting pot to the side, I could hear a rumble across the distance. I thought to myself, by Torrix am I cursed, could lightning strike at me a second time?

I quickly put the melting pot away and ran inside.

The sky darkened and began flashing. The diffrent colored lightning was an incredable sight, like a spell battle in the coulds.

I peeked outside to see how the cooling new bow I was working on, was doing.

Without warning, a sudden crack of lighting hit just outside. The blast knocked me unconcious.

When I woke I was practically deaf, I checked on the bow, some how it survived.

I think I need to coat it with something, being afraid it will be a lightning magnet.

I was anxious to try my bow, I pick it up. polished off the ruff edges and burs, strung it and headed for an empty area for I didn't know what would happen.

I spotted a rock not far away, I let lose an arrow and waited in anticipation.

What happened next shocked and amazed me... As soon as the arrow hit, I felt a small wave flow thru me, as the arrow burst apart with such force splinters went everywhere.

I went over to exmine the rock, the arrow head was burried in the rock with a blacked area around it.

I kept moving back, testing the range til I could barley see my target and still hit it.

With each hit, I could feel the wave flow thru me and knew I was dead on target.

I felt the need to replenish myself completely, something about the last few shots felt weaker.

After a short break, I took aim once again, bingo right on target and with full force once again.
A few more shots, I was completely satisfied with this bow.

Time to head back and put the finishing touches on.

A simple compound of Fairy dust, Mystic water and Crystal powder made a nice coating to finish Celebgul Cu.

Now to let her dry and sand her to a smooth finish, and say a prayer to Torrix for blessings.
