Pardon me, Player, but what are you going to do with that Kromede's Flame you have? It's not worth a shard pile to a Shugo trader, that much I can tell you.

But if you melt it down, you can compound it with the Warhammer of the Judge to make one very strong weapon.

Player: "How?"

It requires three items, Daeva.

The first is Kromede's Flame, which you already have. The second is a skilled and accomplished blacksmith...and that would be me, the legendary Ukon.

And the third--and final--item is the Warhammer of the Judge. If you can get that to me, then I'll refine it for you.

Player: Accept.

Consider yourself blessed by Ariel, Player. I normally wouldn't dirty my apron with an unpaid project like this...but I'm making amends for beating a Shugo nearly to death.

According to my beliefs, absolution requires sacrifice. And since you're the first Daeva I happened upon, the honor of my uncompensated help falls to you.

Go to the Fire Temple in Asmodae. There you'll find the Warhammer of the Judge with Kromede the Corrupt. Get that, and I'll do the rest.

Player: "I'll get the Warhammer."

I told you it wouldn't be that difficult, Player.

Now, hand over the Warhammer of the Judge and Kromede's Flame, and I'll get my anvil prepared.

Player: "Here's everything you need."

It looks like you have some reservations about my skills, Daeva?

I practically invented the art of blacksmithing, but you're going to stand there and tell me you have reservations?

Don't embarass either of us any longer. Just come to me with the Warhammer of the Judge and Kromede's Flame in your Cube, and I'll show you why I'm considered a legend.

Player: "I've seen lots of legends, Ukon."

Whew! Kromede's Flame is a bit tougher than I imagined...but I've finished.

Here, take your refined weapon, Kromede's Warhammer. As promised and stronger than ever. Don't hurt yourself with it, Player.
