Taking a deep breath, he exhaled slowly. Apparently, this turned out for the better. Still, it showed he needed to be more careful in the future. No more being lazy about it. He was still a little shaken, but since the man was pro-mage, he might as well spill the beans. He smiled weakly, "Well, this could have ended up a lot worse then. At any rate, your weapons are ready." They were already near him, so he just picked them up, and handed them over.
"Well then, this opens a lot more business opportunities. As you already know, I can make some pretty nifty weapons. I'm also skilled at making them magical during the forging process. I can etch runes and enchantments inside the items themselves so that no one can immediately tell what they are. I offer various enchantments such as invisibility, light weight, heavier weight, unnaturally sharp, never rusting, and other more specialized things. I can imbue elemental affinities into weapons, and even chain runes to make ordinary objects powerful. For craftsmen, I can make objects that settle their nerves and help steady their hands as they work, and other charms for various things. I'm a well educated man, and I speak and write in many different magical languages that I learned from books my family has collected for ages."
He pauses, then continues, "Honestly, I could have made this weapon in about 5 hours. Sooner if I had more practice with it. The quality of things improves tremendously when I work at my best, which is hard to do here."
