Next was "loading the charge."
He walked over to another workbench, on which were laid out the various basic material packets he had purchased from the Alchemy House, and began to carefully mix them.
A small pinch of powder ground from a dry fungus called "Explosion Shroom" and some explosive crystals were the main explosive compounds. Their properties were similar to Earth's TNT, but they required Magic Power to be triggered.
He mixed these powders together in precise proportions and carefully packed them into one of the shell casings.
Then, he picked up an Alchemy Engraving Pen inscribed with Runes. Concentrating his own Magic Power at its tip, he meticulously drew a basic "Activation" Rune on the inner surface of the other half of the shell.
This Rune was one of the thirty-six basic Runes he had learned from the "Basic Runes" course.
Here, it would play the role of a "detonator."
