Similarly, when it comes to tool casting, creating offensive magical weapons and treasures only requires focusing on amplifying their destructive power, ensuring that the weapon has the capability to harm the enemy.
Even if the weapon comes with various drawbacks or side effects during activation, as long as it can inflict damage, it suffices.
However, defensive weapons are an entirely different matter.
They must, after being forged, ensure that they do not possess obvious weaknesses, preventing enemies from easily exploiting vulnerabilities during combat to utterly dismantle them.
Think about it: if a cultivator places their trust in a defensive magic item, only to have its flaws exposed at a critical moment, forcing them to turn their supposed protection into their fatal weakness, how terrifying would that scenario be?
Therefore, forging defensive magic items is incredibly challenging.
