[pnpgm] speech re appreciation

[Alex Koponen]

Gathering those that Z'leyra had seen directly save her life she announces:

“I would like to show my appreciation in a useful form. As one of the
premiere human enchanters and metalworkers that I know of, I can craft a
useful item and imbue it with magic. While I do not know the Dwarven and
Elven secrets of metal I DO know Kameri weapon making secrets and can make
and enchant excellent weapons. I also can make and enchant leather or iron
based armors. The armor I made for myself has helped keep me alive a number
of times.”

“So if you have an item that you would like for me to make, let me know.
While there are more spells that I do not know than I do know, I have a
fairly broad selection of spells I can ensorcel into objects. Most are at
minimal levels of effectiveness, but some are moderate and a few are
exemplary. For instance for weapon and armor enhancements I know of few
equals and even fewer that exceed my skill. I can make wands and staves of
considerable power. With a staff I can have it double, as mine does, as a
warstaff. Cap the ends with bronze, copper, silver or even gold and one
doesn't have to worry about coming into casual contact with iron. I would
make it artistic, perhaps weaving symbols of power into the design. I could
even dedicate the item to your or your family lines' exclusive use...but
advise against it since your necessary saliva or blood impregnated into the
object could possibly be used to direct an evil spell against you if the
item was stolen by an evildoer.”

“To create these items does take considerable time. Days, weeks or for
upper end armor, months. Add perhaps a day to a week to imbue the object
with the magical powers one desires. Add in that even I cannot guarantee
that the fickle winds of fate won't interfere with the enchantments.
Sometimes enchantments don't work and one has to start over from scratch.
So think about it. Talk with me to see if I have the necessary knowledge
for the item you want.”
