They can use magic for speed, right?

Yep. The state of the art in speed-affecting magic is still the gravity they stole from the edge of the world that one time. It'll be far better than literally just dropping things, but they do have upper limits.

Well, hopefully it'll be enough.

Hopefully. Directing rods from God at a literal god would be much cooler, but it's still a supersonic lump of metal. (Now that there's no reentry issue, at least they can prioritize hardness instead of keeping it solid. Still probably not worth enchanting the single-use projectiles.)

Might be worth that. Delays the operation by six weeks but it seems very plausible the Enemy can only be injured by magic.

Do they have much chance of hitting him personally? Even if they try while they have a clear shot, it's a siege weapon and hard to aim very precisely.

He kind of is Angband, the way Melian is Doriath.

Right. Six weeks it is.

Could consult the Fëanorians about enchantments to use.

Could, but–

–okay, admittedly probably should. There's no possible way it benefits the Fëanorians to sabotage the enchantment or anything extreme like that; the worst they'd say is no. Unless they're worried about it being pointed at Huan or something.

I think at this point you're actually more paranoid than me. 

Entirely possible. I don't think they're that paranoid, is the relevant thing.

And they like mattering. I think they'll help.

And we'll let them, because even without a time limit speeding up the six weeks is worth it.

And because we do not have anyone who is anywhere near as good at magical metalworking.

We do already have the enchantment that lets the swords work against Maiar; do they use a different one or is it the same thing but generally better?

It would surprise me if they aren't developing better ones.

And, we probably don't have exactly one shot at this, but maybe we do. So it makes sense to tell them in case they've got something that'd be better off if the timelines matched.

And also because it would surprise me if they haven't thought of it themselves, even without the gravity elementals to play with.

Good point. Really good point, actually. How likely is it that the reason they haven't done it already was not being able to throw things hard enough?

Not especially likely.

Yeah. And I can't really picture it being fear of provoking the Enemy...

So they are probably working on something enchanted to pull it off better.

Convenient. Then we can just volunteer our delivery system.

At a minimum it would be very silly to duplicate all the effort.
