In the feudal world, you worked in the lords' service, the lords took a good percentage of the grain you grew, and the king took most of all

It depends upon the sort of 'stuff' you seek. I can imbue objects with power, and attune them to certain purposes.
But if you're speaking of hand-crafting wood or fabric or some such, I have ahem certain limitations to work around.
What is it that you have in mind?
[ooc: Syd would pick it out of his head and be tempted to go all cryptic and smug about it, but me-the-mun can't guess what Mugen's after, soooo this is Syd 'pretending not to know too much' in order to not 'scare off the customer'...? XD]
I dunno what half that shit means, but I need something that'll take care of this mechanical guy. I've already fought him once and .. well, you get the idea. His pale ass is a lot more powerful, and without some sort of way to level the playing field I can't even get close enough to use my sword.
[ Mugen is so illiterate .. he has a hard time deciphering what Sydney is saying. Basically he needs something that will let him defeat Bearing, who is privy to a whole arsenal of powerful attacks and stuff whereas Mugen has .. his sword. And since Bearing already used Soshi like a toy and then nearly killed him, and Mugen already nearly died fighting him once he is getting desperate. ]

Mechanical, hmm?
I've noticed that very few of the mechanical objects in this world can handle any sort of irregularities in their power supply.
If you'd be willing to lend me your sword for an hour or so, preferably at midnight, I believe I can offer you something quite suitable.
How would you like to be able to throw lightning bolts at him?
If after testing you find my craftsmanship suitable, you can discuss payment with Mr. Urahara; I am an artisan, not a merchant.
[ooc: Sydney's going to inscribe the sigil for lightning on Mugen's sword. He can still use it as a regular sword, but if he needs the extra firepower, he can slash in the direction of the target and give the activation command. In most of the stuff Sydney does, that would be a command in ancient Kildean. In this case, though, considering it's Mugen, Sydney'll give it just two switches: "stun" (for people he'd like to keep alive) and "fry" (the hit-with-a-bolt-of-lightning-and-make-crispy version). Sound like a plan? XD]
Huh? I just need a way to not get murdered. Last time he blasted me with some explosion and nearly gutted me with his claws. Throw lightning bolts? You sure you haven't been smoking anything lately?
[ Sounds great, haha! I have no real knowledge of Thousand Arms canon, so for all I know Bearing might be able to absorb electrical energy to become stronger (I know being away from the city's power supply makes him weaker), but then that's half the fun. XD Thanks for doing this, by the way ~ ]

On my honor as a heretic cultist and priest of the Dark, I would never indulge in drugs or intoxicants during the course of my work. If nothing else, it's a damned good way to find yourself possessed by some really unpleasant demon lords.
Lightning seemed the most direct method of overloading a metallic creature -- rain would take far too long to rust its joints, and fire spreads too easily to its surroundings. And earth is so slow, at least until the great sunderings occur.
But if you'd prefer some other tool, I'm open to suggestions -- a thunder-drake summons, perhaps? Or a stone golem? But a golem would be slow. And a fire-drake would present many of the same targeting problems as elemental fire, and... er, I'm losing you again, aren't I.
I'll tell you what. I'll craft a summons-sigil and a lightning-sigil for you this evening, and I'll meet you at midnight at Mr. Urahara's shop. You can test them to see which you prefer to work with, and I'll bind your choice to your blade. Sound fair?
.. you sure you aren't speaking some other language or somethin'?
Whatever, as long as this shit works because if I get my ass murdered then you'll be the first one I'm coming for.
[ Awe, but our Seph / Dark fight was pretty fun. D: Sydney's a cool character. I have no knowledge of his fandom either, but he really intrigues me and I like him. ]
