“Nice.” he smiled, analysing one of his finished products.

“Huh, it’s called necrotic instead of spectral? I guess it’s since I made it for a human?” he thought, looking at them.

“…too bad there’s no health bonus – but it’s better than nothing.” he shrugged before finally trying them on.

They were a snug fit around his Molodus coat, but that was not necessarily a bad thing. It would be better in battle so that they wouldn’t slip – though Jay did encounter one problem.

“Oh, my gauntlet…” part of the gauntlet had excess armour travelling partly up Jay’s arm, stopping the vambrace from fitting on it.

“Damn, oh well..” he stored the second vambrace into his inventory; it would be a backup. Just in case.

“It’s nice that the armour doesn’t need mana to maintain its form. I wonder why it’s different?” Jay thought for a moment, “Perhaps weapons simply need more maintenance.” he scratched his chin.

Unlike the armour, all the weapons he had made so far, including his shield had a [Lifespan] passive ability, which made them require necromancer mana to ‘maintain their form’.

“Hmm, what else can I make…”

Jay thought about the armour that the helvetian statues wore for inspiration, and in an instant he had an idea.

It was immediately clear that a helmet was a most crucial part of the armour – it would be what Jay targeted first during a fight after all.

Jay decided to create one similar to those T-visor helmets that the statues wore.

Immediately, he got to work, forming another green blob of glowing bones.

Next he decided to form half a sphere, forming it into a bowl shape.

After that, he elongated two parts of it downwards, which would eventually be the cheek plates.

Jay decided to solidify the shape he had made before continuing the crafting process, as he had an idea while forming it – perhaps coming from his level three insight.

The idea was to target a specific part to mould while stopping his mana from travelling through the rest of it; this meant he would only need to focus on a single part.

After the pseudo-helmet was set into its shape, Jay began to funnel mana into it again – but he kept it localised to a certain part, making a T-shape with his mana.

The T part of the visor was now liquid, and Jay forced it to each side which created the T-shaped gap. As the molten bone was pushed to each side, it effectively reinforced the edges of the T-visor with a slightly thicker rim.

It was a pretty simple design, but it was the best Jay could do for now.

Happy with how it was looking, he let it solidify.
