Even if they took a bit longer to set up given they were all different from the enchantments he’d been making until that point, Ben still made quick work of them, finishing up after an hour while at the same time creating models and blueprints to show how shapes and sizes could be placed in the factory to be properly enchanted on for the people who would be creating them at first until thinking better of it. There was an easier and better option all around as he shaped some of the leftover materials he’d been given and pulled some rainbow mana crystal from one of his rings, creating materializers for each one to create each item in their entirety, needing only to be placed in the factories to finish them off.

Except for the ones that need souls of course, but… I’m not sure if I’m even going to be needed here anymore, am I?

<Depending on how things go, we might ask you to set up more but honesty, given you went so far as to build materializers to go with it as well there shouldn’t be too much you personally need to check on. Still, if there’s any issues we’ll make you aware.>

Okay, cool but as for now, nothing more you want me to try to make? Resistance amulets of all sorts or maybe enchanting factories for mini gates or even regular gates?

<Well, the first would certainly be helpful and we will be getting you to make more factories in the future so I’m sure those will make the list but as for the second, is that something you think you could actually manage?> Nare asked, genuine curiosity in his voice as Ben thought it over.

The more complex the enchantment was, the more complex the factory that would be making it needed to be and gate enchantments were no simple thing no matter the size. He was certain he could do it but the scale such a thing would end up at would tower above anything he’d currently made unless he was able to refine the design further.

Eh, I’ll at least fiddle with the design in the back of my mind for a bit to see if I can reduce it more and I’ll let you know. As things currently stand though it looks like I just have one more thing to finish. Gotta say, I’m pretty disappointed, I was expecting more from them.

<Awakenings are no simple thing.>

Sure, but still. It doesn’t matter though, I’d been going kind of easy on them since I had the time. Now I’m just going to awaken them the way I did Valaria.

<…Just do your best not to harm them.> Nare sighed in his head, getting a thumbs up for it.

You got it, I’m pretty sure this will be mostly safe and if it isn’t… Well, Xilly is a blessing mage on top of everything else, she’ll make it work out.

In the hours he’d been training the two, trying to get them both to awaken, neither had succeeded and Ben was officially out of patience. He’d finished the main thing he’d gone to do there and he had other tasks to get to so the gentler configurations of his mind were being dropped, instead going for something he was sure would leave both with powerful migraines but no real injury to go with it as he flashed between those configurations, finally getting results one after another as Nati and then Xilly finally awakened connect, leaving Ben privy to what they’d received from it.

Huh, both of them got the same advanced variant as Valaria and both of them got bonus skills for it, interesting.

Nati was left claiming parallel thought for her awakening while Xilly got mental expansion, two skills he had before in the same way Valaria had gained mental expansion from her awakening as well, making him wonder if the help he gave them all really was the driving force behind it.

Something to think about later I suppose. For now, let’s see how they’re feeling.

Neither awakening had been lost on Delair, the girl eyeing the two after flashes of mana had filled the room but now released from his mind, both Nati and Xilly’s first moves were to flop to the ground, both of them groaning in pain.

“Don’t be dramatic, if it’s that unpleasant then Xilly, start healing already.”

“I just need a second not to vomit first,” She groaned out.

“Nope, get to it or you’re back in my head.”

A powerful motivator that immediately put her back to work, instantly training her new mental expansion as she began to heal both herself and her friend, gradually easing the pain that they’d been put under, even as they continued to groan.
