chemist and engineer in their own rights. As a child, Mordren’s parents would
bring her with them to the academy at which they taught and researched at,
exposing her at a young age to wondrous and unthinkable new inventions. As she
grew up, Mordren would spend much of her time slipping from one lecture hall to
the next research lab, often being a troublemaker, but each piece of
information feeding her imagination and curiosity even more than the last.
Being around creation and inventions as much as she was, Mordren began to
imagine possible inventions of her own – a creation the likes of which had
never been seen before on Radelf. She imagined a weapon that would allow the
user to emulate magic, to hold in their hands thunder itself – a weapon that
would take more finesse and skill than the endless studying of wizards, that
relied more on known science than finicky magic – seemingly a child’s fever
dream, to most. But regardless, her research and work began. Over the course of
several years, and even enrolling in the academy – at the behest of both of her
parents, to her mild distaste – Mordren began accumulating the skills and
knowledge she needed, her finesse and intuition often carrying her efforts. An
offhand question here or there about the properties of this or that powder in
this or that situation, the malleability and durability of this or that
material were often invaluable to her, as was the nearly infinite amount of
times she put her powders and creations to the test, only to have them explode
in her face. Fortunately for Mordren, she was skilled at picking up extra
ingredients and materials… without permission, most of the time, so she would
never have a shortage of anything for her concoctions. And as graduation came
and went, Mordren was able to finish building her dream – with some help from
some swiped wizard’s enchantments among other things, of course – a weapon able
to utilize the power from small explosions made from the ignition of a
concoction of an explosive powder within itself to propel a small pellet of
metal as a projectile fast enough to render armor near useless at close range.
It was a weapon that sounded like thunder, and had the damage and volatility to
match.
