Forged Destiny [Book 9: Ch. 14]

I swallowed. Put like that it really did sound bad. "I'm just a Blacksmith, your majesty."

"And a Swordmaster."

"A master of making swords. That is what the Class means."

"Hm. Not a deviation, then. A promotion? To a Prestige Class of sorts."

"That's what we think."

One with a Mage focus, but which was still – in a strange way – a Blacksmith Class. It straddled the lines, what with the names of the Skills, but even those affected armour and weapons instead of people. I could cut through enchantments, shatter weapons and invalidate Runes. All useful tool for a Blacksmith.
