He walked into the laboratory and, skipping the pleasantries, immediately asked, "How's it going? Has the custom inscription-set baseboard we ordered arrived yet?"
He had recently discovered a flaw in the first-generation refrigerators: they frosted over too easily.
Items people stored in the refrigerator always carried some moisture. In the cold environment, this would form frost, causing things to freeze together or stick directly to the refrigerator walls, making them difficult to remove.
It was the same principle as a tongue getting stuck to a metal pole in winter.
Therefore, Igor's first goal for optimizing the next-generation refrigerator was to develop defrosting technology.
To that end, he had ordered a baseboard from Twin Tower City. It came with preset inscription sets, which made it easier to create certain categories of Magic.
Mages were accustomed to calling this kind of thing a "monoboard."
