[She is sure. Minako and Rei and Ami all trust one another, and it's temporary. Plus she doesn't completely believe that he's completely fine, the damaged link worrying her.
Up they go, and Rei immediately starts setting up a chalk mandala of old characters on the ground. A summoning and binding circle.]
[And then Rei begins to chant in a low voice, an old, old prayer. It's more similar to one an onmyouji would use to summon or bind a shikigami than anything a proper mage would do, and that's because she's a hedge mage at best. She doesn't know proper "magecraft" and that's obvious to anyone with an eye for it, but she's able to channel raw cosmic energy from her Sailor Crystal into the working to make it function properly.
The circle lights up with flame along all the chalk, her voice rising in pitch, the words still coming fast and fluid. Fire swirls, grows, and then contracts inward, hemming in around Archer while Rei's chest glows. Layer after layer of will and power flows into those lines, overlaying them, forming a wall, and after a few more moments the heat contorts into a thread, wrapping around his wrist and her own. And just like that, the deed is done.
What should she feel, she wonders, as she opens her eyes.]
[At least he could feel power flowing back into himself, even if it didn't fix the actual emotions he hid as well as he could. Missing Rin was a pretty big blow, to be completely fair.]
Depends on what you're looking for. I can create weapons that have an innumerable number of attributes that can be used. For most people, that would be good enough.
Creating weapons like that? No, that wouldn't be possible, no matter how much practice you're capable of putting into it. If you're interested in the physics of it, I don't mind explaining it.
To put it simply, I'm not creating swords out of thin air. Instead, I have a world of my own where an uncountable number of blades are contained. If I see a weapon, a copy of it will be made there. That's why I carry the title of a blacksmith hero. When I want a certain weapon, I simply pull it from that world.
There are downfalls to this magic, however. All weapons I copy are lesser in power than the original so I will rarely directly clash with someone. Not only that but to make the copy takes three times the mana that was put into creating the original.
However, I am capable of creating that very world where I want it and bring whomever I want into it. It takes an intense amount of magical energy and only lasts a few minutes but all my weapons will be on par with the originals and the cost to making it is free.
No for the first and yes for the second. The limitations on my world are more guided by reality fighting back against another reality being imposed upon it. The weapons, however, will last longer when I put more magical energy into creating it.
Your limits aren't the problem. Mine are. Even with a Master like Rin, I would burn out before she does. There are weapons out there that I could copy perfectly but, if I did, I could die in the process due to the amount of magic involved.
Understood, then it's not an experiment we'll attempt.
[There's a thoughtful pause.]
Can you teach me to use some of your other abilities, then? That might be a worthwhile endeavor, if you're able. A new application for a power I already possess, thanks to my crystal.
No, it wasn't. What I did there is something I could teach you since, as you say, you have a nearly unlimited supply of magical energy. But it's not a spell of any sort.

Alright.

[Though, goodness, that sounds ridiculously complex. And a little like how the Sailor Talismans and the Holy Grail work.]
Would having a stronger energy source increase the length of time you can summon that world, or those weapons? I remember a time limit on them.

[That is interesting. Much, much more than she'd initially thought.]
That was what you did in ViViD then, wasn't it? With your legs and arms.
