Still hasn't learned his lesson? Maybe we should send Scarlet after that fat blacksmith. He does look like a deliciously pluimp punching bag, after all.

Y'know, the saddest part isnt that the blacksmiths have forgotten how to smith a sword or even how to propperly enchant them, Its that even though they spent all three years socializing, networking, and searching for wife's, the lot of them have failed to achieve anything more then growing three years older and gained an unhealthy ammount of weight.

Somewhere between a dagger and a longsword. That sounds like a shortsword. Maybe a shorter arming sword or spatha, but a lot of fiction use longsword for one-handed swords, which is wrong. Silhouette looks like a shortsword.
Muscles get stronger because the regrowth compensate for the damage so it won't happen again. This is not true for all injuries either, such as if you sprain an ankle. That will permanently make it weaker. Repairing it with skill or magic means you have to deliberately make it stronger than it was for it to get stronger. But since you created it to start with, it should've been possible to create it that strong to begin with.
Having the tang be thinner than the blade is a major weakness.
Must've ground off a lot of material for the blade to shrink that much to the final version.
Sure, just rest on the floor. Probably not too dirty...
Must need a lot of strengthening magic to be able to use that sword. Even heavy real swords aren't so heavy anyone stronger than a very small child would struggle to lift.

Exactly! Why did they not relocate to a couch or bed? Staying on the floor seems... strange. Perhaps it is the Japanese tradition of spending time on the floor, even though it looks weird on a dirty stone floor in a medieval western setting.

Hey u sound knowledgeable. I got a question. I learned that if you fully melt iron, it will become cast iron and its very brittle and unfit for a sword. Does heating and hammering after casting it help it get out of "cast iron"? I remember it was because of carbon content or something.

I'm not an expert, just picked up stuff from general interest, so you might want to fact check.
Generally, this is what you get from blast furnaces when you process iron ore. It's a type of iron with a high carbon content, and I think that's what's called pig iron, but also cast iron if you use it for that purpose. It's brittle but hard. Brittle is relative, though, since it's still strong for certain applications, as it can take a lot of pressure, but not bending. Normally (in the modern world, at least) you'd refine that by lowering the carbon content to make various steel alloys.
Working iron at an anvil can change the carbon content, but I'm not too familiar with the limits of that.
If it's low carbon content from the start, it can be forged into weapons. It's a bit like melting iron scrap while controlling carbon content, and the result of that can be cast into workable iron or steel pieces. We are also dealing with a magical process and magic iron, so I don't see a problem with that specific part of the process.
Yeah I was supper annoyed that they somehow did not know what a Short sword was. But I have to say that Longswords historically could be one handed or two handed. The main difference is Longswords have longer handles compared to say an Arming sword

Yeah, longswords have rather long handles. You can easily fit two hands wearing gauntlets. I would say they weren't so much one-handed or two-handed as they were, as D&D calls them, versatile. Generally made for two hands, but you can use them in one. And that's beside that the term "longsword" is more modern than the actual weapon, and not entirely consistent.
