Shuja smiled as she watched the pair head off into two separate directions. The male was one who certainly liked thinking out loud, as if some kind of bard telling a tale rather than a knight, thought it did also let her get in some extra bits of information. He wished for a weapon that could not just channel the air, but cut through it. He had eyes on a method, but not a real idea of form outside of a single-handed sword. Every warrior had their preference in a weapon style after all, and his seemed locked in a direction for this.
The woman, however, was far more concerning. She used much brute with the axe, enough to break it, which led her to take on a "safer" approach. Shuja's eyes narrowed as she saw the sword be used more like a bat. She was too afraid to actually use the blade, it seemed, possibly because of the flop from the axe. She distracted herself with much nimbler gear, showcasing an inept aptitude towards faster slashes. Did she think her weapon was slow as well?
It did not take long for the two to approach, the male offering his weapon as the female seemingly crossing her fingers that visuals were enough. "I think I have gathered enough for the first step. Now, we head over to the tweaking and fine-tuning of your project. First: to Hiro." Holding out her left hand, she muttered a prayer to him, eyes half-closed as her attention seemed to have faded away, removing all forms of distractions. A ball of light soon gathered before him before warping and shaping to the edge he held previously, though with a minute tweak. "These veins should help you slice though the air easier. Do not be shy to ask for other changes until you are fully satisfied with what you wish." She was quick to dismiss him before turning her attention over to Polecat, her eyes laced with a more serious glare.
"You, however, seem to underestimate what you have asked for. Take this time to really consider if this is the path you wish to take, for if I see you waver one more time, I will douse the forge and not kindle its flame for you. You would not be the first, nor be the last I have given this out." She then started her prayer once more, this time forging three separate items: A great sword, a great axe, and the main body that matched her own weapon. However, this time her right arm lifted and pulled away the blades from the two other weapons, moving the sword edge upon the axe, molding their forms before her until the two seemed to have shared a unique blade before finally attaching it to the base, forcing it to change forms before her before resting it before Shiloh in its standby state.
"This weapon will never be as flimsy as these wooden tests I offer," she assured before picking up her own weapon. "It is also tricky to use as well." She was sure Polecat watched as she extended the axe once more by pulling out the hidden handle before beginning her swipes upon one of the dummies. Sure, it was a bit slow, but it carried a hefty range, able to strike surrounding targets in the process. Even an upwards slash was able to prove its vertical reach before causing an infinite-shaped flurry of swings. "If you are afraid of it, it will not respond as you wish!" One last spiral swing, turning her entire body, and the axe now took on its sword shape. "You must prove to it that you are worth it!" Her combos continued in sword, much more concentrated, but swifter as well, easily handling many different types of slashes and angles. However, with each one, the crystal that rested upon its hilt began to slow brighter and brighter; a brightness that began to take over the entirety of the blade as more of her power was getting channeled into it. It was not long until it was not visually engulfed in light, but it also echoed sound of stress and cracking glass. The medium was growing unstable. "Do not simply look at its limit as an end, but only a beginning, and push through it!"
She let one hand go of the weapon, but at that point, there was so much energy holding it together that she didn't need to hold its switch. Instead, she lunged the blade into the practice dummy, stabbing it through as she listed it into the air as more and more pushed into it, causing the parts to rumble together and the sword vibrating loudly before it was too much and exploded with energy. The dummy flew into two directions as showers of shards rained down upon Shuja as the blade fell back into rest and the axe head raised back up, though crystal shards falling from the hilt.
"It will not be taken hold of overnight, but that is with anything you take up," she said, hitting the axe on the ground to break off any remaining bits in the handle before pulling out a new gem and placing it into its missing socket. "It also asks for much care when not in use as well due to its many parts." The axe dropped back down as it rested on standby before the Indlovu turned back to Polecat, staring fiercely into her eyes. "Will you prove to me that you are worthy of my ultimate work?!"
