Rouge's Lessons: Seigelwork

I let out a small breath as I gave Lise a warm hug. We had just finished another day of grueling slave work when I decided that my adopted sister was scheduled to have another lesson to day. And while I really wanted to rest, my brotherly duties demanded that I go through with my word.

"Brother, you don't have to teach me anything today," Lise frowned as we showered in our own sweat on the small portion of Furnace that we currently called home. "I'm tired, and I'm sure you are too."

Instead of replying, I gave Lise a sly smile as I shimmied myself to face her. "That's not how things work, unfortunately. You still have a lot of studying to do if you want to be as good as me, let alone be decent enough to do Nenner work."

So far, Lise was relegated to simple blacksmithing while I took over for the more Wesen-intensive work like applying Seigels and making sure that the stuff we made wouldn't blow up on our faces. It was kind of fun, sure, but I really didn't like the idea of my sister being relegated to just being my assistant when she could clearly be something more.

"Ugh... But I don't want to right now..."

"Well, too bad," I chuckled even as I did my best to ignore Lise's rather effective and cute pouts. "You'll thank me for this later anyway."

Fundamentals of Seigelwork

Never overlap radically different Seigels under no circumstances

Never apply Seigelwork on anything except solid metal

Any etch, meant or otherwise, will always affect the overall effect of the Seigel

Wesen Rebound

A phenomenon that happens when a Seigel's functions are disrupted in mid-use, usually through significant damage on the etchings, causing an explosion of Wesen that might destroy the Seigeld Item and/or its user

a product of a Seigel failing

Wesen Overload

An explosion of Wesen caused by an abundance of energy in the Seigels

Caused by overlapping Seigels

Rule of Shifting Wesen

States that for a Nenner to imbue power to an Elemental Seigel, they must pour the amount of Wesen that's at least five to ten times that of the Seigel's occupied surface area.

Size and Amount of Elemental to Rudimentary = 1 is to 4
