I almost feel sorry for Mukali. Aristine is so effortlessly charming that she’s completely captured him and he has no idea. She’ll prove Diona/Diana’s words were a lie or misunderstanding. Depending on how deeply Aristine can claim him, he will either see Diona’s words as a misunderstanding or a lie to tarnish her/making Mukali hate her
but also! he’s correctly describing heat treatments for durable sword smithing! it’s super rare i see any vaguely historical comic know anything about metallurgy, but i’m guessing he’s talking about the san mai technique where you mix steels of differing carbon contents so that they take the temper differently, resulting in a core of the blade that’s flexible enough to bend without breaking and an edge that’s diamond-hard to cut through even stubborn things like bone. the damascus patterning i originally thought they were referring to wouldn’t really impact the heat treat at all so now i’m not sure i interpreted the last chapter correctly. the folding and bending does strengthen the steel, but ultimately it’s just so the acid etching makes it look cooler. the benefits apart from the aesthetic are minimal. and tbh even high carbon damascus doesn’t need to be oiled that frequently. just keep it clean and oiled in general and you won’t have a rust problem. i’ve got damascus steak knives that stay oiled and they’ve held up perfectly. you always want to look for patterning on the spine of the blade to make sure you’re getting the real deal and not a laser etched piece of machined stainless steel
