The others nodded in agreement.
"The spatial energy alone is overwhelming," a Rune Dwarf said. "It does not simply exist within the material. It permeates it entirely."
They began discussing.
Voices overlapped.
Ideas were thrown back and forth rapidly.
"Extreme heat alone will not work."
"Compression techniques might fail as well."
"What about layered forging with resonance arrays to amplify the force?"
"We could attempt to weaken it first."
"No, that might destabilize its structure."
"Then suppress it."
That suggestion caused several of them to pause.
A Fireforge elder spoke.
"A spatial suppression formation," he said. "If we restrain the energy, we might be able to shape it."
Several others nodded.
"That could work."
"We would need multiple layers."
"And constant reinforcement."
Lin Mu, who had been listening quietly, finally spoke.
"That will not work."
The elders stopped.
They turned toward him.
