Fujal was immediately captivated by the technology Aaron had demonstrated.
To a master Dwarf craftsman, rune technology was an ancient, established art. Through exquisite forging techniques, they bound magical power to weapons, enchanting them.
But the technology Aaron displayed was completely different from Dwarven rune technology. If Dwarven runes bound magic to a piece of equipment, Aaron's runes used magic to transform the entire piece into whatever he wanted.

Aaron took the musket and examined it carefully.
