Dialogue[edit]
- Are you looking at my photon forge? Nice, isn't it? You've got an eye for quality technology. Ever met a holosmith before?
A what?
- A holosmith! Our boundary-pushing feats of invention and engineering have allowed us to harness the power of the sun as a weapon. Impressive, right?
- How did you manage to do that?
- Elonians have always had a strong relationship with the sun. Then we met the Zephyrites, and everything just clicked.
- The Zephyrites?
- Those magic crystals of theirs are a key component in our photon forge. It's a good thing they've been so willing to trade with us!
I have another question.
Definitely.
- I have another question.
- On second thought, I don't want to hear this story.
- What kinds of weapons does a holosmith use?
- That's an easy one. Swords. Nothing else really balances speed, precision, and power the way swords do, so we always design with swords in mind.
- I have another question.
- Whatever works best.
- Tell me about your photon forge.
- The photon forge allows me to manifest tools made of pure light energy. Sunlight is filtered through crystals, and the excess heat is pulled off to a separate storage unit.
- Excess heat?
- Generating a solid weapon out of light generates a massive amount of heat. It would destroy the forge if it was all focused on one point, so we store it separately and release it over time.
- What happens if you have too much heat?
- The forge would almost certainly explode. Some holosmiths build in subsystems to use the runoff heat, but I'd rather just let it cool down normally. I happen to like my eyebrows.
- I have another question.
- I don't blame you.
- I have another question.
- Practical. Thanks for the info.
- I have another question.
- That's quite the invention. Nicely done.
- Shouldn't you be inside at a workbench somewhere?
- I take frequent breaks for my health. Eyestrain and cramped fingers are no laughing matter. Perils of the trade, I'm afraid.
- Is that how you make your living? As a holosmith?
- Yep. You'll usually find us holosmiths working to improve productivity around large cities. Some ply their trade to smaller villages, but it doesn't pay as well.
- I have another question
- Thanks. See you around.
- Sounds treacherous
- Yep, very impressive.
- Shouldn't you be inside at a workbench somewhere? (same as above)
- Now I have.
