Forged Destiny [Book 1: Ch. 6]

I was holding one of the scythes, which meant I could tell what its stats were. That wasn't a Blacksmith ability, but rather something anyone could do. You had to know how good a weapon was so you could decide if you wanted to use it.

These scythes were good… for scythes. They would last for a while; the material was decent – the man hadn't cut any corners or debased the metal with weaker bronze or copper. But that still didn't mean they would be any good for what Ruby needed. The haft was oak, strong but still only wood – and the blades themselves were thin and light, useful for someone who had to swing them all day in a field, but lacking striking power and liable to break if they hit anything too hard. If Ruby bought only one, then it was going to break and she would be back here again.
