"Now, last week," said Amaya, grinning faintly as she got started with the lesson for the week, "we worked with our little mini-forges to melt down some metal and fill previously made molds to make little metal biscuits, right? But those molds had to come from somewhere, which means that there's someone who made those, too! Now, of course, these days, in this world, you've got a lot of big factories pumping out a ton of these things, but, where I'm from, there was someone making these things by scratch and by hand, and there's a variety of different methods, but, today, we're going to learn how to do a method called sand casting so that you can know how to make your own mold of pretty much near anything you'd like!

"So take a moment," she said, "to go through some of the miscellaneous items we've got on hand here in the shop until you find something you'd like to make a mold out of, and then we'll all go through the process together and see what we come up with! Me? I've got this here wooden shamrock, because, well, that's a holiday coming up here soon so why not? But you can make a mold about almost anything, though simpler shapes will always be better than something with too much detail. Anyway, enough about that, find something you'd like to make a mold out of and then we'll get started."
