The new artifact neared completion.
As Ves put all of the parts together, a new umbrella took shape.
Both he and Alexa took a moment to admire the near-finished product.
The shaft no longer showed any visible wooden structure. Ves had not dared to change it considering that it anchored complex runic sequences. He merely covered it up with multiple layers of thick superdimensional alloys.
The metal sheathed the shaft and provided an enormous degree of physical protection. They also contained very thin electronic components that Ves had somehow folded into the extradimensional space of some of the layers.
Although this technique compromised the defensive power of the superdimensional metal in question, it effectively allowed Ves to fit in electronics without taking up any space in the material dimensions.
