Made a whole sword once. Like an excalibur replica. A good four feet long, ( both hands raising, to--give an approximate image of the length. ) mostly bronze hilt, carbon steel blade laced with gold. You wouldn't believe how much it cost just for fucking materials.

( not to mention the amount of time he poured into it. that thing was his baby, until he'd finished it and ultimately handed it off to pierce, so pierce could. go swing it at things like the idiot he is. enchanted with a shitton of juice, that thing was damn close to just as good as the mythical excalibur, if not better. )
