Synopsis

Kaiser is shown a unique method of aura manipulation, learning to feel it rather than just see it, and discovers a highly aura-conductive metal. Meanwhile, a guild investigator arrives at a smithy looking for Lumbart, but is rebuffed by the dwarves. Elsewhere, Leon somehow provokes a challenge with a local dwarf blacksmith, which escalates into the legendary "Rodrick's Tradition" where breaking a specially-forged weapon grants requests, but failure results in ten years of servitude.
