I have always been fascinated by the art of blacksmithing. The way a blacksmith can take a simple piece of metal and transform it into a beautiful and functional object is truly magical to me. As I grew older, my interest in blacksmithing only grew stronger, and now, I have a burning desire to become a magic blacksmith. To me, being a magic blacksmith means going beyond the traditional techniques and creating objects that possess an enchanting quality. I want to be able to infuse my creations with a touch of magic that captivates anyone who sees them. Imagine a sword that glows with a mystical light or a set of armor that grants its wearer incredible strength.

Sharpening Part 7 – The Alchemy of Hard Steel 鋼の錬金術
Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work.
Isaiah 54:16 KJV
In the previous post we looked at some of the supernatural aspects of making and forging steel. In this post we will examine some alchemical aspects of woodworking blades, in the particular the iron and steel used to make them and the related chemistry of sharpness and sharpening.
This post could be very technical, but your humble servant has simplified the description of chemical processes to make it easier for the non-technical Gentle Reader to follow. Please bear with me.
I believe that through my craft, I can imbue objects with a sense of personality and character. A simple ring could become an heirloom with a story to tell or a weapon could develop a bond with its wielder. I want to bring forth the latent magic that resides within the metal and give it a voice. Of course, becoming a magic blacksmith requires more than just technical skill. It requires a deep understanding of the magical properties of different elements and materials. It also demands a connection with the mystical energies that surround us. I am willing to dedicate myself to the study of ancient alchemical texts and to seek out mentors who can guide me on this magical journey. In my pursuit of becoming a magic blacksmith, I am also aware that challenges lie ahead. The path of a blacksmith is not an easy one, and adding magic to the mix will undoubtedly make it even more complex. But I am willing to face these challenges head-on because the reward is worth it. To forge objects that bring joy, wonder, and a touch of enchantment to people's lives is a dream that I cannot let go. In conclusion, I want to be a magic blacksmith because I want to create objects that evoke a sense of awe and wonder in those who see them. I want my creations to possess a touch of magic that goes beyond what is ordinary and expected. With dedication, discipline, and a little bit of magic, I believe I can become the magic blacksmith I aspire to be..
