Roll 1

If Morris wants to become a great artificer he should practice on whatever he could get his hands on. The first piece of equipment would be the basic rod from the common shop. Luckily enough he managed to snag a book on rune-writing from starfall.

"Alright, so you take some crystals and a little bit of water." Turn page "Mix them together in a bowl, and form a little paste. Once you have that, apply the runic markings and infuse it with your mana?"

The instructions seemed pretty straight forward, so as instructed he created that very same paste, and began to write a basic rune over the weapon though it didn't work.

"..I missed a step or something."

The moment he returns to the book he notices where it is read in bold infuses your own mana. While he hasn't learned to tap into his family magic: he hovered his hand over the rod and began trying to infuse his mana within it.

Though it seems the rod began to glow the runic marks burn and cause the rod to burst into flames. Clearly the boy missed a step, but he wasn't sure which step.
