Thomson Industries

"It took longer than I would've liked, but I'm updating the folder today."

True to his word, Benjamin Thomson has added new inventions into the folder contained within Audhild's library:

---

Petal Decorated Crystal Ball

"A sphere forged from fire crystals that have been heated and compressed into a single large unit. The surface of the ball is infused with petals plucked out from Saniskriti flowers, which resulted in an intricate pattern across asphere that is now capable of absorbing and releasing solar energy."

The steps for its creation:

1. Pluck out the petals from Saniskriti flowers and put in a container for safe keeping.
   
2. Take the fire crystals, them into shards.  Place the shards in a copper cast and heat them up with the forge until the crystals melt and connect with one another. The copper cast expands during the heating, which will compress the fire crystals into a single unit in turn.
   
3. Once you have a solid crystal sphere? Write runes* on the petals to harden, then add runes that'll combine the petals into the surface of the sphere to prepare them for infusion into the crystal ball.
   
4. After the preperations are complete? simply press the petal onto the crystal ball while sending mana into the runes to activate them, infusing the petals one by one into the crystal ball until its surface area is covered with the petals.
   

*- Given the vast, innumerable options when it comes to runes? There's a high probability that there is more than one set of rune to accomplish the task. If you're curious as to the set of runes used by Benjamin Thomson himself, you may contact him via letter or face to face to inquire about them.

Tyrium-tipped Viridium Bullet.

"A bullet specially made to pierce through a mage's magical protections with the tyrium's tip, and act like poison in the body thanks to the toxic aura radiating from the viridium.

Word of caution:

While I'm publishing the information about the bullet due to my belief in letting all information be public? I implore you, the reader, to not use that bullet against your fellow men. I have never tested it on a living magi, and I hope I'll never have to."

The steps for its creation:

1.  Prepare a model of the bullet. The material of the matter, so long as it is solid.
   
2. With the model as a base, prepare a casting mold. I used a metal casting filled with resin sand for my casting mold.
   
3. Melt the viridium and the tyrium together in a forge or furnace in a ladle, and remove any impurities such as the slag by-product.
   
4.  Use a metallic rod with a tip that has the shape of a disc with a circumference ratio similar to the opening of the ladle so that you can push down on the molten metals and compress them. Beforehand, add runes to the disc that once triggered will alter the properties of the metals to make them denser.
   
5. Place a leather strap over the leather strap with runes that'll help by seperating the tyrium and viridium apart to their appropriate spots within the mold.
   
6. Pour the molten metals into the casting mold, and trigger the runes on the leather strap to adjust the ratio between the two metals within the mold accordingly.
   
7. Once the metals cooled down? Take it out of the casting mold, cut off any excess metal that is still attached from the pouring tunnel or the air tunnels, and grind away the imperfections with a grinding wheel.

Besides the updating of inventions within the folder, a list of possible craftsmen in Audhild together with their expertises was also added in the folder with a note written before it:

"Audhild is a city of craft and trade, but before any of that can happen one has to know the option exists. This list will provide the people of Audhild and beyond a way to find those of like-minded interests to converse with, or perhaps negotiate for their assistance.
Should anyone else from Audhild seek to have their name be added to the list? All they need to do is contact me.

P.S: The name of the list might change in the future. Someone once suggested the name 'Audhild Research Team', or 'A.R.T' for short, which may become official one day."
