vermifiedTo all new arrivals, or simply uninformed residents of the village- just as Winry stated earlier this week, we at the smithy are available for metalworking commissions. Currently we're lacking in projects, so if you have any desire for a weapon or some kind of crafted work, feel free to make a request. I specialize in advanced weaponry design and armor.
Additionally, I... request the advice of anyone who's had difficulty controlling the elements. Whether it is by way of this world's spirits, or your own world's magic- if you found it a challenge, and have since mastered the obstacles that stood in your way, how did you do it?
[Edward's going to be at the smithy for most of the day, working away on some sketches and developing new projects for the future- or present, if he gets no commissions. He's mostly designing new swords and armor.]

Date: 2011-01-23 06:09 am (UTC)I wish I'd had the inclination to seek out a teacher for controlling one's lunaglyph. It would have saved me a great deal of trouble now.

Totally not a contradiction in terms, hush.]...what kind of trouble is it giving you?

Date: 2011-01-24 07:05 am (UTC)It's given me trouble since it was given to me. One glyph is natural for those on my world. Two can be... troublesome. It can overwhelm those unprepared for such power.

Date: 2011-01-24 07:52 am (UTC)The biggest thing that you can work on with a fire element attack is control. When Aang was first learning, his teacher had him meditating for hours, just learning proper breathing, the right stance... but really, it was all about control.

Date: 2011-01-24 01:54 pm (UTC)Meditation? [Uuugh. Not his strong spot, that. But if it's likely to help him, he can't exactly turn away advice, especially the logical ones.] I've never tried that.

Date: 2011-01-24 04:14 pm (UTC)I can show you a few of the moves that Aang did to help with it - well, not show you show you [not a firebender and never will be, thanks] but let you know what they are.
And maybe it would be a good idea to talk to some people who've mastered Eferin. Working with the spirits is very different than bending [easier in some ways, less effective in others] but fire is fire.

Date: 2011-01-25 05:08 am (UTC)You're... not aware?
[ Highly Filtered ]
Date: 2011-01-25 05:14 am (UTC)No, I'm not.
[Aware of what NOW, for crying out loud!]

Date: 2011-01-25 05:23 am (UTC)[That what, he'd share something so horrifying and private on a whim? Way to speak kindly of your friends, Ed.]
...Nevermind. It's a simple matter of second lunaglyphs being difficult for meages to control.
[ Highly Filtered ]
Date: 2011-01-25 05:31 am (UTC)Difficult... but not dangerous to you in any way other than the nature of the element?
[ Highly Filtered ]
Date: 2011-01-25 02:52 pm (UTC)[ Highly Filtered ]
Date: 2011-01-26 05:11 am (UTC)Dangerous like all fire is dangerous, or is it something else? I don't know the way things work in your world, Edward. If I'm going to help you, and something's dangerous, don't you think you should let me know what I'm in for?
[ Highly Filtered ]
Date: 2011-01-26 02:27 pm (UTC)It's... not something I enjoy sharing.

Date: 2011-01-27 01:14 am (UTC)Listen, Edward - I'm not asking because I want to intrude on your privacy. All I want to know is what to expect if you start exercising your lunaglyph - if fire is automatically going to go out of control or if it will do something strange and unhealthy to your body.
