Herad poured out the simply cooled Sinvane blank, then placed it on the anvil to hammer it rapidly.
To improve the forging procedure of the arcane golems, he took time to practice a decent smithing technique.
Although he could not compare with those master blacksmiths, forging fine-quality equipment was more than enough!
A rapier had a slender structure, and the cooling speed would be very fast.
Blacksmiths often needed secondary or even multiple heatings to successfully hammer it into shape.
Herad was blessed by the Red Dragon Queen, and his vitality had been greatly enhanced.
Vitality was directly linked to physical strength.
Therefore, his physical strength was naturally startlingly strong!
Forging, a job that consumed a lot of physical strength, was very easy for Herad.
He could continue hammering for days and nights without sleeping or resting.
This was also why his smithing technique could improve so quickly in a short period of time.
That was watered with a large amount of sweat!
With the hammering that ended like a violent storm, the Sinvane blank was hammered into shape, and it did not need secondary heating and hammering again at all.
Carefully inspecting the blade and making sure there were no problems, Herad put it into the water tank to quench it.
However, he did not take the blade out at the appropriate time.
Instead, he turned around to craft the hilt of the rapier, letting the blade soak in the water tank.
Such quenching was obviously unqualified!
Whether low-end or high-end metals, they all needed quenching after forging was completed.
Whether to use water or oil for cooling, and how long to soak, had very strict requirements.
The hardness of metals that were properly quenched could be improved quite a bit.
However, these soul-type metals of the Shadowlands were
