A Relic Reborn

[Roahin]

I recently got my first level 50 and I was eager to obtain the Relic Weapon, Curtana. I'm on the phase where you turn in the melded scimitar to Gerolt. I purchased both the Aeolian Scimitar and the two Battledance III materia required. I'm currently leveling up a Blacksmith so I can get the "Waking the Spirit" quest and begin affixing materia to weapons.

My question is... once I'm level 19 and able to learn how to meld materia, will I be able to immediately attach those two materia to the Aeolian Scimitar? Or since it's a level 55 Weapon, is there some minimum Blacksmith level required to meld the weapon?
