Cutting the gem

"How to carve the stones? Well, you place one or two fueling runes on them, then throw the stones to an energy knot for a few days. Once it's done, you properly polish it into shape and then carve the additional runes. The idea is pretty simple, its the carving part that turns it from the easiest job in the world into actually a proper and dedicated profession."

Not even bothering to stop her hammering, the petite girl answered the question. From the look on her face, I could tell how surprised she was with this kind of question.

"Tell me, would it be possible for you to do this first step for me? While I know how silly that request might be, it would be of great help not only for me but also for everyone else here."
