Silverlight

In his hand he held up high was his blade, Silverlight a sword of silver and blessed to vanquish those who worshiped the night as their god. With every blow that was dealt to his foes the blade shined brighter and brighter to light the way in world that was lost in darkness. - excerpt from the book of saints

The ingots are melted down and mixed together and placed into a crucible and into a furnace to properly fuse then together with charcoal to remove impurities. During this time the more charcoal in placed inside the furnace to produce extreme heat. It is removed from the furnace and allowed to cool down before the puck is retrieved. It is then reheated and then it is hammered out several times and a donut hole is placed in the center to create an opening on one side of the puck to create a cut once the hole is made large enough. It is allowed to harden and It is heat cycles again and again until it turns into a straight bar. It is then put into sword shape and tip is reheated several to form the tip of the sword after extensive hammering. This hammering is also done to the rest of the sword until it meet its final shape.
