FLAAASH!
As I used Spirts to enchant the smelting process and the molding process, Ambil couldn't help but act rather surprised, he had not expect me to use such methods at all, even though I told him I would do things on my own way.
"Y-You're using Spirits to process the metal?!" He asked in surprise.
"Well, you said I could use any method available." I smiled. "So I simply decided to do things my own way. And well, there's this too! Blacksmith Spirits Summon!"
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
Suddenly, some of the Fire Spirits combined together into completely different shapes, some resembling tiny blazing hammers, while others resembled ores and ingots.
"B-Blacksmith Spirits…? They exists?!"
Ambil glanced in utter disbelief as the Blacksmith Spirits did their own jobs. The hammer-shaped ones started smacking the processing metal into shape, while the rest fused themselves into the smelting metals.
I also worked on my own, using the hammer that Ambil gave to me to gently shape the metal, constantly heating it up so it could become moldable, all while I imbued Mana into it.
It was a rather complicated and complex process, and if I didn't had such a high amount of Dexterity, it wouldn't be as easy as it seemed to be.
I had to put all of my mind and spirit into this job, which was straining my mental fatigue quite a lot. But I perseverated, continuously working harder to process everything properly.
Clank! Clank! CLANK!
The dagger was slowly coming to shape, a sharp blade imbued with not only Mana, but large quantities of Spiritual Energy. The process was coming out smoothly, yet there were still some setbacks.
"Ugh…"
I simply couldn't shape it as I wanted, and the pointy end wouldn't end as pointy as I wanted either, the Spirits helped, but they couldn't do the entire thing on their own.
Maybe it was time to learn some new Skill, my skills with the hammer and incredibly lacking. Of course, I could simply try to use other methods such as coating my hands with magic and forcefully shape the knife, but that would beat the purpose and the result would be mediocre at best.
So…
Ding!

The moment I learned the new Skill, I felt a large quantity of knowledge flow inside of my mind, making me quickly realize the proper usage of tools and hammer to an extent. It felt almost automatic, as I started moving my hands more dexterously.
I utilized the Blazing Hammer Strike Technique to unleash small, yet impactful blazing strikes with the hammer, which sent small shockwaves of flames and mana that shaped the weapon to my visualization.
CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!
"Her movements suddenly became much more dexterous too…" Ambil commented. "Did she learn a new Skill out of nowhere?!"
CLANK!
CLANK!
CLANK!
With each strike, the dagger was reinforced constantly, through a process of smelting and then cooling over and over again, imbued with mana and spiritual energy, a brand-new type of metal was created.
Nieve helped me cool it down and then, I utilized my Spiritual Wood, grown from my fingers to create a beautiful wooden handle, and then, I sharpened the blade until perfection.
It took a lot of time but… I was done after three hours and a half…
"Phew…" I cleaned the sweat from my forehead as I smiled back at Ambil. "It's done!"
