"Poppets do wear out eventually and need to be replaced, but - reasonably permanent, yes. I don't mind making it at all." She retrieves the weave and reviews the steps. It's certainly not the most difficult thing she's done, but she's not quite good enough to jump straight into making it without a review. Best to be safe. Arrogance gets her a lot of wasted essence.
Watching her technique is interesting. She's methodical, but instead of only doing one timed section at a time, she juggles two (and at one point, three) at once. The reason for this becomes apparent as she finishes - it gives her a bit more time to complete a very tricky section at the end.
And then she has a deceptively ordinary looking purple gemstone. It's pretty, but doesn't look very magical.
"Filling it is actually a completely different sort of thing than making it," she says, offering Grendyne the gem for inspection. "And I'll show you that thing with something simpler before we touch charging this. It took me years to get charging an attunement stone right, though, I warn you. It's okay if you hand it off to me to do."
