Marc's plans were spoiled again the following morning. When he was done eating and ready to start in on using his writing skills, he remembered that he'd finally gotten to examine the metal that they needed to armor the hovercraft. Since his father had parts for those under construction already, the majority of the tech necessary for them having been in the Anti-gravity tech chain, he wanted to see just how much of an ingot of it he could make. When he'd examined it he could tell there was an incredible amount of mana infused into each bar.

So, instead of heading to the Town Hall to start in on writing manuals, he headed to to the metallurgy building.

“Hey Marc, got a new metal for us?” one of the employees asked when he walked in.

“I hope I will in a few minutes.”

“You doing that metal creation thing again? Hang on, I want the rest of the guys here to see it. See if any of them can follow what you do for that since I can't do it to save my life.”

“Sure, I'm going to take a seat because this one's going to be a whopper. I expect I'll totally drain my mana and not even get an ingot of it.”

“Wow, that's something. What's it called?”

“You might have a listing for it, but not a sample. Did my dad give you the specs for the metals used in the hovercrafts? This is for the optional armor coating, I think it's some sort of mana infused titanium or something like that.”

“I think I saw something like that. It'll be good to get a sample of it, even if it's tiny. The more you know and all that, right?”

Marc nodded agreement, then closed his eyes and pulled up the memory of what he'd seen and felt when he examined the metal back in Olympus.

When he opened his eyes again, he found he had an audience of four, three men and one woman that all seemed to work in the metallurgy building.

He shook his head to try to shake the discomfort he experienced having an audience, then closed his eyes again. This time he poured mana into his Mana Molding skill, trying to duplicate the metal he was after.

His mana dropped precipitously, even before he had to start filling the metal with mana. Creating the combination of titanium and what he was guessing was transparent aluminum was bad enough, but putting in the network of mana veins that spread throughout it cost even more. He had no idea just how much mana this stuff was going to hold either, especially since he managed to create a full ingot. That alone cost him nearly a thousand mana. Then, just in case, he pulled out his stash of mana batteries, dropping them in his lap where he'd be able to reach them easily.

With about twenty-seven hundred mana remaining he started pumping more mana into the metal. He could tell that this mana wasn't like the mana batteries, it wasn't meant to come out again.
