"That is true, Mister Ars, that it is. We were able to make a counterfeit flame furnace with only a small amount of precious flame ore, that we were able to make. Furthermore, it has been confirmed that if we use the [Performance Enhancement] magic of the Boutica family, it can produce the same level of firepower as a normal flaming blast furnace, that it can."

On the contrary, it is a great value to be able to produce high quality products without using magic, that it is. From that point of view, the flame blast furnace is highly appreciated, that it is. After all, it is possible to forge existing iron to an unprecedented degree, that it is.

"You know exactly what I mean, that you do, Mr. Ars. A hard-tusk sword made from the tusks of a giant boar. This sword has a magical effect of hardening when it is enchanted, that it does. However, even if a large amount of magic power is poured into it, it could not become harder than a certain level. But the tusks of the great boar's young are different, that they are not. The tusk of a juvenile boar is a material with growth potential, and it had a possibility to grow as a weapon more than a hard tusk sword by pouring magic power from generation to generation by the nobles. The result was the Zantetsu Sword, which later became the Sacred Sword.

Yes, that's true, but we're the ones who do the synthesis. But we can't ignore non-magical techniques in manufacturing. No matter how good the materials are, depending on whether you can handle them properly or not, they can become either treasures or trash.
