The reason he started with a little dress was, of course, not because Dark liked dresses.
He simply took his promises rather seriously.
During his duels with Elsie and Kevin, he had promised Sylveon that once he learned Armed Transmutation, he would find a way to get it a dress.
Although Armed Cards had limitations when used on Magic Spirits, Dark estimated that, at his current level, he could not create any proper armaments that required a large amount of Star Magic Power anyway.
If he happened to piece together a set of armaments that was slightly more useful than a [Costume Change Card], that would already be extremely fortunate.
In short, since this was only an initial experiment, it did not really matter what kind of armament he made first.
Using the little dress in Elven Craft Woodcarving as a reference, Dark selected a piece of wood from the material box and began carving.
The little dress did not need to be carved with excessive detail, so the difficulty was limited.
The main difficulty lay in hollowing out the interior.
For beginners, external carving and internal carving were on entirely different levels.
But Dark had already come up with an idea back when he was learning to carve human figures.
Something that required the interior to be hollowed out could be simplified through a "modular" approach.
In other words, he could divide the little dress into two or four parts, leaving structures at the contact points that allowed them to be assembled.
Once all the parts had been carved, he could put them together into a complete dress!
Using this method, he could avoid "internal carving."
Moreover, this was the rudimentary form of armor-making.
It took Dark nearly an hour to finish carving the little dress.
