Crafting the rings

[20:25] Bruno led his wife to his workshop, inviting her to come closer as the materials that would soon be used to craft them both proper wedding rings were put on display. The man spoke up, taking Anna's left hand.

"I need to measure your finger first. Do you wish to watch me make them or would you rather be surprised when they're made?" He asked, looking over his shoulder towards the woman.

[20:50] Anastasia follows him into the workshop, sitting herself down and letting him take her hand. "I think, I would rather the surprise." She would say towards her husband.

Their wedding rings were going to be special. Surprisingly enough, she would rather not see them being made, only what they would look like when they were fully completed.

[20:52] Bruno took the quick measurement of her ring finger before he gave her a small nod.

"Very well. Go, then. I'll work on it and show you the end result when they're ready." He says, leaning in closer to drop a brief, yet loving kiss atop her lips.

[21:10] Anastasia returns the kiss with obvious affection, then stands up. "I look forwards to seeing them Bruno." She says to her husband, turning away to leave him to the work ahead of him.

[07:52] There were things that were meant to be done with the help of others. There were other things that were more entertaining and impressive when done before others. Most of the time Bruno had someone lend him a hand on greater projects, but this one? This one was not one that anyone but him should complete.

With Anastasia's decision to be met by a surprise rather than help the man got to work right away. The first part that mattered was the shape of the gemstone. He needed to carve out enough of it for the both of their rings.

Looking down upon it, the rather impressive aurora borealis lived on within this rock, reflecting all over the place and painting the ceiling with the northern lights. Beautiful. And perfect for their wedding rings. The Aertas set out to properly carve into the gemstone, a high concentration of lightning magic held at his fingertip as he cut through the beautiful material, creating two small gems out of the bigger chunk. Of course this... completely ruined the larger gemstone for any other project, though its desecrated corpse would be enough of a memory to be kept around the house. A decorative object by all means.

One did not steal the northern lights and make use of only part of them.

The contained Aurora Borealis was put aside while Bruno worked upon the smaller chunks with more precision, cutting away the excess and polishing them all with the use of highly dangerous electric streams. Lightning magic with absolute mastery was required during this process.

What followed was the melting and molding of two chunks of Arcanium. Enough for both their rings to be made out of. Heat was channeled through the Arcanium via high electric current before the rainbow-reflecting matter found itself manipulated by the Aertas through a localized abuse of the magnetic field.

Shaped into circles. Then rings. One fitted for Anastasia's finger and one fitted for Bruno's, using their respective sizes. Small pieces of leftover Arcanium were set aside as the man allowed for the rings to cool off, only for them, too, to be polished and cleaned.

With all of it done, Bruno added the final and missing part to both of the rings: The leftover Arcanium was bent and molded to wrap around one of the rings in order to hold the gem in a more prominent fashion as a proper woman would prefer. For Anastasia's ring Bruno ensured to pick the clearer chunk of the gemstone, one that held coursing lights and who's dark undertones were present, yet not the center of attention.

Bruno's own gemstone was pushed into the ring itself, instead of serving as an ornament it would be held tightly within the metal, showing its darker side and only reflecting the northern lights when one carefully observed it. A small mistake on the artificer's part not to do it sooner, which resulted in yet another polish to be done for his own ring.

Thank the Machine no one was hereto watch him fail in such a way.
