Society Campus Metalworking Workshop

Shandara had gone back home with the pipe in tow, keeping the rolled up schematics in it with some success. After resting during that midday, she set to work figuring out how she was going to do this on a copper pipe, rather than on a flat circle.

Doing it on the inside was just too difficult, but fortunately the cylindrical shape of the pipe meant a cross-section of the pipe was a circle as well. The hard part was making the magic runes tiny enough to fit in the small diameter, combined with... well, simply etching into copper does not make a magic rune. Despite her years of working with jewelry, this was a completely different application of metal working, and she needed to bring the pipe to a society workshop to use their tools - only she needed to come back tomorrow, as the facilities were in use.

To fill her time that day, Shandara bought the necessary magic ingredients she would need and worked on the other versions of her enchantment over the night. The next day, she came back to the workshop at her appointed time but felt pretty stuck. All she really had were her attentive eyes and dexterous fingers, good for working with smaller tools and jewelry, but everything was just too damn big. She didn't know what half the tools in this workshop even were. And she knew how to use even fewer of them. This was getting very frustrating for Shandara. How was she supposed to get the gel in the etchings if she could not make depressions in the copper in the first place??
