With permission granted, he places the sword on the floor and gives the blade a sharp jab with the butt of Laevateinn. A small piece hops up into his hand, broken off cleanly. This he fixes to a clamp on a ring stand -- as he does with every other sample, each to its own stand.
With each bit of metal arranged over a crucible, Loki lets the runes ignite. The flames are intense and blue, not unlike that of a Bunsen burner. And now... they wait. ]
