OCs?

OCs?

Yes.

Depends on what exactly you are making, some things benefit from harsher quenching.

In this case it likely doesn't matter all that much, the metal is thick and it may be that he is just doing whatever is quickest because he may not expect them to last long anyway.

[Cherry Lover]

Yeah, given what they're intended to do, I don't think making them strong is a big concern. They're just bracelets, and I doubt he's expecting them to be worn for more than a few years at absolute maximum (most likely it'll be a lot less).

[Kat]

He claims Satoshi is a master blacksmith. No master blacksmith would use such inferior techniques, the pride would not allow.

[Cherry Lover]

Satoshi is also a blacksmith with a mother from the Dark Ages whose mentor is a Dark Age magician. I'm not sure he can be expected to use fully modern techniques. Plus, he may just not have been able to get hold of oil like that.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Actually when you're dealing with 1500F or higher temperatures during the tempering of the blade (which is the stage that is always followed by cooling), water will pretty much disappear on contact. And yes, when it can be felt at a 10 feet range, you are definitely above that temperature.

This may be important as well.

Except he's still doing it wrong even for back then. The problem is that this is another case where Toshi demonstrates more tell than show. He is using a technique that is amateurish despite supposedly being fantastic at everything due to experience. That's the issue here. It wouldn't be such a big deal if what we were told about Toshi says that we should be expecting more from him. This is the primary problem with Satoshi as a whole.

[Cherry Lover]

Did they really use oil for quenching that far back? It seems unlikely to me.

And, regardless, he may well just not be able to get hold of the oil to do it in this case, so he used water instead.

[Alice]

He managed to get a forge out of nowhere didn't he, somehow (seriously, where the hell did that forge come from?!)? Why wouldn't he be able to get the oil? Plus even if they didn't, if Toshi's so all knowing and wise and stuff, wouldn't he have picked up on that anyway?

[Umbra of Chaos]

Am I the only one unsure where that knight who handed him the iron came from? Was he always there?

[Cherry Lover]

Yeah, the knights came over a while back, before you joined. They're constructs Toshi made. Currently there are about 20 of them stood on Forest's back lawn....

[Arch-Magos Winter]

...OK, why are they there? Why is it that Satoshi must always have:

1) A fucking army of some kind

2) One of his cult around to defend him and/or suck his dick

3) The ability to magically make whatever the fuck he wants when he wants it wherever he wants it, and then somehow have it go unnoticed (IE the magical size changing castle)

[Umbra of Chaos]

How do you make a size changing castle? Did he explain how it worked?

Did you click on DSM instead of BL by accident Umbra?
