#396 Fire in the Iron
Short description
Bring Prada an Energy Core from the Mines of Uprising
Description
Listen, {name}, I found an old record. It says the Mines of Uprising once knew how to smelt an Energy Core out of fire. Not a battery, not a piece of enchanted metal, but a core with a steady magical charge. If these notes are true, something like that could keep a golem alive continuously, not in short jolts. Do you understand? Not just make it twitch, but give it a real heart!
The problem is that the mines are now held by the Red Bandana Gang. Going there for an old blacksmith's tale sounds insane. And if you do decide to try it, I strongly suggest finding some friends first. Going in alone is not courage, it is a fine way to become part of the local geology. But if you do find an Energy Core and bring it to me, it could move my golem work past the dead end.
And I will not leave you unpaid. I will show you how to make a special hammer. Not a battle hammer, but a true master's tool, the kind used to forge high-quality armor and weapons. I do not teach that secret to just anyone.

Completion text
There it is... It hums quietly, holds its heat evenly, and the metal around it almost seems to obey. Yes, {name}, this is exactly what I need. If I can build this into the golem, it may finally stop being a heap of iron with the personality of a stool.
Now for the part I promised. Watch closely: a good hammer does not simply strike the workpiece. It guides the metal, feels the weak point, and keeps the alloy from failing where an ordinary tool would ruin everything. Remember the shape, the balance, and the sound of the blow. This is where work with high-quality gear begins.
