Crack.

The core in Jake’s hand cracked all over, more microfractures forming in seconds before the entire thing crumbled into a fine dust. Even this dust disappeared shortly after, the faint sensation of Jake’s arcane energy lingering in the air serving as the only remnants of the Queen’s Guard’s core.

"Too weak," Jake muttered to himself. He did not need to wait before he took out another Guard core and restarted.

It had been about a week since his talk with Villy, and by now, some things were clear. He needed to do this with a strong core if he wanted it to work. Jake had primarily used the Isoptera Warrior cores he had gathered that week, but he’d found them sorely lacking.

He had then tried more on Guard cores, but these cores were also too weak to use if he wanted to create any kind of meaningful item for this final part of the ritual. The reason was that Jake didn’t only inject more Records into an object; he also transformed what was already there. So if the existing Records were too weak, the entire craft would fail and fall apart.

This is what he had been mainly working on this week. Jake’s problem was that he was putting too much quantity and not enough quality into the cores, resulting in them getting overpowered. This had not been an issue with prior items Jake had worked on—especially not something like the meteorite—so he needed to adapt and change his method to make it suitable for cores.

He had considered if he even wanted to use cores for this entire process instead of trying to find more natural treasures in the wild. They didn’t even need to be those Unique special items Earth had gotten, but just high-level items spawning in areas with dense energy. However, the problem he ran into here was that these natural treasures were not actually made to help monsters evolve. They were created simply to house energy and Records, and it was the monsters themselves turning all that into progress on their Paths.

When he got this realization, it was a big breakthrough. He had been under the illusion that he could make all Records into something to help in evolution, but that had been wrong. He needed energy and Records that were already primed toward the Path of the monster that would eventually consume the item. This was not something other people needed to be a thing, as they could prime these Records and the energy through their own intent during the crafting process.

Jake was not doing that.

He did not infuse his own will into the items the same way others did. At least, he was not meant to. That was the conclusion he reached. His job was not to actually transform any energy or change any Records… He was to give the core all the materials it needed to make this change itself. To cut out all the fluff and make the way forward obvious.

Another impossibility, based on what Jake had read.
