It was a good thing that with his perfect memory, Elias had only needed to practice four times until he was extremely capable of understanding heavy plate armor.
There was also an odd sense of experience in his fingers that he knew did not come from his personal knowledge, but it seemed to be from the Art of Stone itself, as his fingers that were filled with warmth almost seemed to disassemble the armor with a single touch.
After unbuckling the cauldrons, the cuirass came next, and it was in two halves, front and back, and those halves clamped together at the sides.
Elias unclasped the hidden buckles and lifted the front plate free, then reached around to release the back plate from the mannequin's spine.
The legs are the most complex, attached to the mannequin at the hips and knees. Elias worked patiently, releasing each section, until the mannequin stood bare and the armor lay in organized pieces on the workbench.
