Alexa came up with a thought-provoking guess!
If the creation of a masterwork required the maker to sacrifice a small part of himself, how much more would he have to give up in order to create a grand work?
Logic dictated that the price had to be much greater in magnitude!
Ves just had to think back on the amazing performance of the Heavensword to understand that relics like that must have demanded an unimaginable price to construct.
The cost to create such an amazing work not only encompassed physical goods and materials, but also pure spirituality. The latter served as the essence that elevated the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Grand works possessed a far greater quantity of the latter, so it should be logical that their creators also had to give up a lot more in order to bring them into fruition.
If this was the case, then any attempt to create a grand work may be a career-ending decision for a Master Mech Designer.
