yar, in the swirly world o' glassblowing, we start from the initial point, where the pre-initiation dialogues be rich with secrets. many a glassblower be forced to walk the plank or give the cold shoulder to their mates, aye, but here's the rub: some be sharin' under-the-table methods to shape the glass that they dare not speak of openly. and shove me sideways if i don't say, these methods can make or break a craftsman's reputation, leading them to either treasure or mutiny, depending on whose ears it falls into.
