Did we tell our boss about our meeting with the king yet?
Not yet, but both plans involve doing so.
Well, silver and gold are only useful as inlays. Same with all the metals we haven't tried. Copper could be good with Lightning.
Maybe we should try a lump action once we get inlays down.

[X] Officer Harding told us to talk to her if we ever got an audience with the king. We go to her and listen to everything she tells us.
[X] Wear your best uniform, you work for him so acknowledge that. Clean up your boots and get new ones if they are especially scruffy.
[X] Invite Joyce to come with you. She contributed, so give her due credit.
[X] Next project: Experiment with inlays. How much Truesilver is needed to use the enchantment. Can it be added to armour as a defense against Fell magic? Does the pattern of the inlay have an effect?
-[X] Use items forged by others to save time where possible and let you focus on the inlaying.
[X] Make sure to take a day of rest during the week.
[X] Ask Officer Harding if she can arrange some additional smithing training for you.
How about using steel as anti magic weaponly
I don't know, maybe just coat the shields of soldiers in it? It will be a bit heavier, but I think that with additional magic resistance its a decent trade off.

Which is why I want to test gold and silver. We can use gold for inlays and truesilver for actual weapons and not inlays.

WE should probably test what affinities the other metals we know about have just for completeness sakes: Tin, copper, bronze and gold.
We should also consider using composites, once we have an anti-magic spell/enchantment. I'm thinking magic eating iron arrow head (which explodes when its full of magic) would make a great weapon against felmagic-upped orcs.

Iron doesn't explode when it absorbs enough. It cracks and lets the magic out. I think the light attuned mithril would be better for that.
If you want the arrow to eat magic. You're going to need carbon in that.
Since iron cracks when you store magic in it but carbon absorbs it.
So, Basically. Just make steel arrows.

It's Steel. Not Iron. The Iron Component in the Steel 'distributes 'magic
That said I think it's less explosion per se and more very violently cracks and let's out magic.

Could we research a way to turn the cracking into shattering?
Also, we should check if the mages have made an investigation into the affinities of gems.
See the thing is it apparently only occurs during the forging process.It's Steel. Not Iron. The Iron Component in the Steel 'distributes 'magic

I don't think the orks have enough magic in them to make that happen.
You might be able to pour enough magic into it before hand that it might crack on contact, but I don't think that would help much unless you can make it explode. If it doesn't do instant damage, you may as well go with poison.

That's not even getting into the fact that seems to occur during the forging process. If this was a known thing about iron we would have been told.

Not mutually exclusive. It broke in the attunement process rather than the forging proper. Plus it's went in as steel as far as I can tell. Wayland found out , somehow, that the iron in the steel kind of broke violently when you put too much magic in it.

BTW... what kind of armor are soldiers even using in the first place. If it's already Steel and or Iron there's something about it that won't work against fel magic.

Iron or steel, typically.

They probably have been trying armor improving enhancements and resistance enhancements instead of magic eating enhancements, its sort of an idea that is out of the left field.

Point. But I was more thinking that magic eating as a concept cannot be done alone with just Steel or Iron if people are already using those kinds of armor and still suffering under Fell Magic.

Magic absorption isn't really a thing for people who aren't the High Elves. And, uh, absorbing Fel magic is a bad idea anyways. It corrupts everything it touches; metal, wood, stone, animals, people...everything. There's no easy solution to Fel magic.
The Night Elves are probably the best people to talk to about that kind of thing, but nobody even knows that they exist except the high Elves who don't care to talk about them and haven't been in contact in millenia anyways. Kalimdor is a myth, at this point.
