The mages all gathered in a circle and started to share other theories that could be similarly implements. The crystal mage became very busy explaining the storage of mana and the creation of unique items versus what they made. One of the mages even passed the idea of getting an archer to try and make a few crystal arrows with dual elements, something that had been extremely rare in the elven history.
"Excuse me, but we have been watching for a while and would like to ask some questions." An elven girl had made her way behind Walker without him realizing it.
The mages quieted hearing this and welcomed the question, whatever it was. Walker turned to see an elf with two different swords on her hips. One was blue like the deep waters in a large pond and the other a pure white. "What do you need to know? I'm sorry I didn't include you and the other spell swords more. I was a little caught up." Walker felt bad that he hadn't invited them closer sooner.
"It was no offense, we prefer to hold back and analyze a situation to test ourselves." The elf was very polite and held her head high. The other spell swords stood evenly lined up behind her. "If you were to make those crystal items in the shapes of swords and allowed us to channel pure elemental mana in to them, do you think they could be used for our battle skills?"
"They might not be as strong as the tempered swords you use." The crystal mage wasn't sure what they were getting at, but Walker had an idea.
"I would say the elements would be easily sealed within them and bound. But if you are looking for one with light and water elemental mana inside I think that is also possible." Walker saw the look of surprise and excitement appear on the spell swords' faces.
"You are smart to see the elements I use. I am one of the few duel elemental spell swords here at the moment. I have some skills that use two swords striking at the same time. I would like to see if I can have a crystal sword that acts like my two together."
This was exactly what Walker had thought they would want. The spell swords didn't always use physical attacks and would also use magical. Waker couldn't guess any other reason their systems were called spell sword.
"Can I take a guess? You want to try and fuse your light flash and water blade skill?" Alma had guessed correctly, she had made sure to remember important skills to those that were working hard to become stronger.
"That is correct. We see that there is the chance to strengthen even our normal single element skills with these unique items. If we are successful then we might get more range out of our slashing elemental attacks. It could be a valuable experiment with valuable results for those leaving to join the defense at the borders."
Alma looked a little unhappy, this was a constant focus for the spell swords. They were trained in physical combat and some magical combat. This gave them a more militant attitude focusing on the state of war or guarding borders. For this reason, many enforcers were spell sword system users.
"We can start the experimentation, but it will be a long process." Alma made sure to emphasize this part. She knew Walker's situation was unique due to his ability to use all elements.
"It is faster than you think. We saw how fast a non-elf can do these things. If we put our minds to it we will succeed." Walker saw the elf give positivity, but he knew that wouldn't make the experiments go faster.
"He has skills that allow for the use of every element's manipulation. The only reason that result came to be was for that skill and his mental strength. We would need multiple mages to complete the same thing. This means weeks or months of training together to fuse magic." Alma spelled it all out knowing that she would have to be as clear as possible.
The spell swords did not look happy to hear this, but with the facts set out before them, they could not argue against them, "Please join the experiments though. Having spell swords to test the crystals' breaking points is very important to us. We may find something new that we missed." Alma tried to reach a middle ground where they could still try things but would know not to expect instant results.
The spell swords did not want to give up so quickly though. "We should start trying new experiments as soon as possible. It could mean many things for our people." Walker was able to chime in this time as Alma searched herself for another answer to what the spell sword just said.
"Then tomorrow I will come here again. I have a feeling we have long missed dinner and even breakfast. Everyone here should get rest and think on their own theories, Tomorrow we can start fresh and work better since we are energized." his words struck a chord with them.
"Why wait? We can easily proceed now." The spell sword didn't want to wait, but Walker had a trump card to use.
"I have other matters to attend to. I am happy to assist in this matter, but I am the leader of my party and an ambassador of my kingdom. I know that you would not shirk your duty in this situation and nor will I." His words hit the elf hard. She had no way to argue since he was right.
Walker noticed Alma's smile and guided him towards the door. Surprisingly almost every mage followed. There was not a divide between the mages and spells swords, but the mages did support Walker more than ever now. They saw a mage much like them with a passion for understanding the magic they possessed more every day.
