If a townsman requests a sword from me, I have two options. I can use a schematic or I cannot. If I use a schematic I will get the very same result every time, but if I do not, i may get a HUNDRED different results.
There are countless ways to make a blade and none of them are right or wrong (I mean unless you make a sword that doesn't do sword things like cut, that's kind of important to being a sword). I may choose to make a sword with a blade of obsidian, and even though YOU may not want to wield it - it's still a sword.
I guess beliefs are a lot like that, right? Some people like to follow the schematics and others like to be a little creative in their approach. In the end, as long as the person your selling your blade to loves it - then who cares how you made it!
