"I just finished the first step in the quest to unlock my mastery skill. Please assist me in bonding this crystal sword to my body." Miranda looked at Walker and Alma wanting their assistance.

Walker turned to Alma a little lost, "I have never done anything like that and I don't know how I would help."

"It's actually easier on your side. You were able to control all of the elemental manas and your role in this would be to keep them from running amok while she adds her own mana to the sword. I would be there to make sure that you and her are able to remain in pique condition." Alma had seen this done a few times.

"Can I ask what the bonding will do for her and the sword? I have not heard too much because it is not very common in my kingdom." Walker was still a little lost and only knew that mastery level weapons that were made uniquely for a mastery level system user with a mastery skill.

"It will make the weapon only able to be used by her. It will also speed up the use of skills with it. Her mana will be part of the sword so that it is literally part of her being. If the sword is damaged after being banded with her she will feel pain, but she will gain a better connection. It is easy to say that the benefits gained from the process will make this weapon a mastery level perfect crystal magic sword. It might even change its appraisal all together."

Walker was impressed and absorbed this information. "So it will become the same as a mastery weapon. Is it because it is a perfect sword do you think? I feel like a regular item wouldn't be able to handle the stress." Walker could already tell from the looks of the others that this was true.

"That is exactly right. The other crystal mages have staffs that they had made that some have tried to bond to them so they can shape crystals better and they shattered during the process. But there was a master crystal mage that made a crystal staff that could hold mana he separated from crystals and distribute it to other crystals. He bonded with it after condensing the crystal to the hardest possible density." The crystal mage had his own goals related to this exact occurrence, it was one of his reasons to improve.

"That is why I received a quest to come here, I have no mastery skill and the last elemental spell sword to exist in the kingdom never discovered theirs. I will be the first to display the skill." Miranda had a strength to her words that the other elves could only respect. She had a rare system when it came to the spell swords and it gave her a chance to rise to a very high ranking member of the elves. But seeing that it wasn't just the rarity of her system that determined her ranking, but the hard work, made them want to follow her to battle as well.

"Then I see no reason to wait. Alma do you need another mana potion?" Walker drank one offered by the light mage and wanted to be sure that Alma was also full on mana. He had no idea how hard this would be to do.

Miranda placed the crystal sword on to the center of the training area so that it was balanced inside and outside with the elemental mana. She sat down and waited for Walker to join her. Alma placed a hand on each other their shoulders while the other mages watched this eagerly. They had seen the binding of weapons a few times but it was not an every day occurrence. For some mages it was a massive right of passage.

"I will begin, please keep the elemental mana contained and balanced within." Miranda used a small dagger at her hip to prick her finger and let the blood drop on to the perfect crystal magic sword. The blood resonated with the sword as she pushed her finger to it.

Immediately Miranda's face paled. It wasn't from the loss of blood but the heavy stress from the swords mana pushing back against her. Adding mana in to something that had stored mana or bonded mana was not an easy process, it was not welcoming to another form of mana.

Walker could sense the restless elemental mana in the sword and used his grand elemental manipulation to force it to maintain its calm rotation. The only problem was that Walker had no control over the mana that Miranda was pushing in to the blade. Her mana was completely unaffected by Walkers' control.

"You mana is the wild card in this and it's making the elemental mana unstable. You need to bind it to the crystal and let it rotate with the elemental mana." Walker knew that if Miranda could manage this then he would be able to push the elemental mana to follow her mana easily.

Her face twitched as she heard this knowing that what he was asking was not an easy task. The elemental mana was repelling her own mana. She may have a lot of it due to her higher level and longer lifespan as of yet. But it was still nothing compared to the pressure of the natural elemental mana that had been condensed and stored by multiple mages.

"Alma sensed that Walker was getting low on mana already and started using her skill. She was still a little tired from before but she could push through the mental strain. She needed to make sure that this worked out because if it did it would be a massive gain for her people. On top of that, it would be an amazing accomplishment for her kingdom to show off when the other kingdoms arrived.
