Ethan stood at the center of his room, a calm storm of purpose brewing behind his golden eyes. On the table before him were the six materials laid out with deliberate care that he had "painstakingly" acquired:
Voltherium Ore, a pale blue metal that hummed faintly with electric resonance; Wyrmscale Alloy, forged from tempered drake scales, prized for its near-unbreakable durability;
Celestine Quartz, softly glowing with a crystalline brilliance that amplified energy flow; Voidthread Fiber, rare and elusive, spun from the essence of creatures found in Abyss dens, perfect for channeling abilities with finesse;
Aethersteel Shards, fragments of a meteoric alloy that shimmered in response to the meta essence in the air; and the Crimson Ignis Core, a volcanic gem pulsing steadily with raw, contained heat.
He paused for a moment, hands hovering above the arrangement, and allowed himself a thought.
"This ability... it's somehow similar to Sophia's Blade Summon."
