Once he was finally back in his room, Karl sat down at the small table and took out the four bracelets he had purchased from the market.
"Oh, did you get us all gifts?" Dana asked.
Karl smiled. "If the Runic inscription works as well as I hope, not only did I get you gifts, I might have found a good way to make money here.
Did you all learn anything today? I see that you have the window open."
"We learned a bit about the city, and that there is a holiday upcoming, but nothing too extreme. How did the delivery go?" Dana replied.

Karl laughed at the memory. "Very well. The city government paid us well for the charm, and they’ve already started using it. The only condition was that we should refuse if ever the Governor’s daughter comes to request a similar service."
With that explanation, Karl began to plan out the carvings for the first of the bracelets. Skill Power and Mana regeneration would stack up quite well.
But Remi had a better idea.
She had found a set of descriptions that could be translated to runes that should allow the item to store mana as well as helping to regenerate it.
That was an interesting concept, and it would put a lot of reliance upon the actual item, as the Runes themselves did not store the mana. However, according to the description in the Inscription tome that the Blue Dragon Acolytes had provided, an item should be able to store two seconds worth of its maximum mana flow without affecting the function of other spells put on the item.
That was for Inscription, which was similar, but not the same as Runecrafting. It should be a good enough baseline for his next attempt, and even if he misjudged, he could either stop early, or simply replace the item.
They weren’t that expensive.
The basic inscriptions wouldn’t take long for Karl to do, and he didn’t want to overdo it when the primary purpose of the bracelet had now become a reserve mana storage device. It might only be enough to cast eight or ten spells at moderate output, or fewer than three full output spells.
But the bracelet would refill itself, and given time, it would provide more free energy.
Karl finished the runes on the inside of the bracelet, and then began to upgrade them.
From Common to Royal, the process went smoothly, but as soon as the runes changed to the rich amethyst of Royal Rank, Karl felt the matching streaks in the stone begin to leech mana, saturating the bracelet.
If he pushed harder, it would almost certainly explode. But with the enchantment at Royal Rank, and the mana storage Runes included, the bracelet contained a significant amount of power, in addition to the Skill Power and Mana Regeneration effects.
"Dana, try that on and let me know what you think."
