Drain one of the protection crystals with the converter.
I'm aiming at making a set of alchemical gem stones to imbue into my armor or self.

Try to melt the Scrap to the point where I could make something out of it with Heat based Fel-Flame

Oi, could someone engrave my armor or my axe? or make a new axe out of Moloch metal once we hit the road? It would be appreciated, me being the 'Death knight tank' and all.

Irony, if you're going to do something with the armor, it should still be malleable.

Hum... well...

My original plan, which was unlikely to fully succeed for several reasons, was to make myself a Moloch-metal scythe inlaid with orange crystal, hopefully resulting in a weapon that boosted its wielder's strength enough to actually use it.

I'm currently debating whether I should still try that or go for something more useful. Thoughts would be appreciated.

EDIT: Also, unless I'm busy with something else crazy I'd be happy to improve/produce items. All I know is Rune of Pain and my runecrafting skill isn't all that great, though.

How about an axe or a breastplate with an orange gem?

I AM SO NEEDY ARG  :'(

But the scythe sounds like a cool idea (Arg I want to steal it), and I suppose that I have my own metal to begin forging. Sorta.

But on the third hand you don't have the skills for weaponry.

But on the fourth you could learn and become fearsome.

But on the fifth you could devote that time to learning more magic

But on the sixth (Ect ect ect...)

Incidentally, how many actions would it take to shift a pillar to orange, cut it into inlays, and forge malleable metal into something else inlaid with crystal?

Curses. Would adding the crystal afterwards be harder or less effective than building it in while it was being made?

No, but it wouldn't look as cool.

 ???

There aren't any protection crystals...

Forge Dunib a new breastplate out of the metal Nirur softened, using magic or force to work it if possible. If not, Kin's spare hammer or the back end of my hatchet.

EDIT: The breastplate will include a slot(s) for crystal enhancements, either in front of the heart or on the shoulders.

Focus and cast shield of faith onto the magical conversion device, while having it turned on, in the hopes of making condensed shield of faith.

Regeneration still?
Drain any of the remaining crystals using the magic converter.
Hey, leave me something for a regeneration trinket.

I'm just making them into a smaller, more condensed version, I think my crystals may actually work better for what you want.

I dunno, your little condensed thingies strike me more as latent reagents and less effect-emitters.

Though, I'm now picturing combining alchemy with metamagic to infuse a material with their very essence, so carry on.

EDIT: Although, are these any different from someone just casting regeneration into your machine or something? You might want to save these ones for carvables if they're not any better than transient castings.

EDIT EDIT: Also I've been meaning to learn healing (and maybe fire, but that's on hold currently), so if you want a chance at a healing stone at some point I could cast straight into the device instead of finishing off a wounded comrade. I don't know what a failure would do to it, though.
