An Empu has no freedom, unless he has been directed by his lord to create a new dhapur for a specific purpose, then his freedom is limited to compliance with the wishes of his lord.

A pandai keris, or a tukang does have freedom, because they make blades which do not have the spiritual content of a blade made by an empu.

This blade is not a blade made by an empu.
