However, before building the Mechanical Puppet, Wei'en first took out a blue-and-white box, then exchanged for two tools from a specter.
Specifically, a Giant Tooth Hand Saw and a drill press from the Mechanical School. These were modern tools from the Steam Era.
Back in Jerry's time, during the Third Era, most parts for Mechanical Puppets had to be painstakingly ground out bit by bit with a handsaw.
Some Wizards in even tougher circumstances had no choice but to buy raw ore and start from the smelting stage...
Things were much more convenient now.
The drill press cost 20 gold pounds, and the handsaw 15... The expense nearly cleaned Wei'en out.
He looked at his remaining 4 gold pounds, 5 shillings, and 7 pence. 'I really need to make more money.'
Now he finally understood why so many Wizards in the Mechanical School chose the modification path.
