Carefree Mageborn Crafter [Properties Modification Magic]

Aldren only wants three things from life: comfort, freedom, and enough gold to never worry about either. That should have been simple. Instead, the world keeps throwing trouble at him. Monsters appear out of nowhere. Powerful people ask for dangerous favors. Opportunities come wrapped in risk, and peace never seems to last for long. Worst of all, everyone expects a talented Mageborn to be ambitious. Aldren refuses. His magic lets him modify the properties of things, making a blade sharper, cloth tougher, stone lighter, or tools far better than they have any right to be. But every change comes with penalties. Improve one property, and another must give. Permanent modifications also cost enormous amounts of mana, making every serious use of his gift a careful calculation. Good thing Aldren hates overworking. With clever magic, shameless efficiency, and a firm belief that life is meant to be enjoyed, Aldren dodges, bends, and slips past trouble whenever he can. And when he can’t, he finds the most comfortable way to win. Because if the world refuses to let him be carefree, then he will simply have to prove that carefree does not mean helpless.
