That would be cool if WotC actually innovated the crafting rules to incorporate things like this, but I doubt it'll happen.

A full smithy would be a challenge, but the warlock I last played was a guild jewelcrafter, and he always had a project or two underway in his vessel.

Sure it can fix armor, but can it fix the Bard's marriage?

Please remember the series.

It could have been "Beneath the Dragoneye Moons" by Selkie Myth because I recently read that in a near fugue state. But I can't remember for certain.

 

[Chaosmancer]

I had a gnome cleric for a while who would find nearby rocks, and use fire magic and other spells to make impromptu forges while he worked.

The Storm Sorcerer was easier to work with, since he was a jeweler

True. I think it all depends on the craft and the tools required. Once a player starts crafting something that gives them a significant monetary or mechanical benefit is when I think that time and adequate tools should become a factor, and the player should take the time away from adventuring to concentrate on the task at hand.

Interesting question: What happens when you cast Mending on separate pieces of a weapon that were never assembled into a weapon previously. Does magic know that you're not actually mending those pieces? Can you 'fix' an iron ingot into a sword because it's a terribly blunt sword right now?

"Can Mending reattach a severed limb?"
"No."
"Is a corpse an object?
Sighs "...Yeah."
"Mend, Revivify."
"A minute cast time is too long-"
"Gentle Repose, Mend, Revivify."

Step 1: Get a dwarf.
Step 2:

It's these small things like this that make life bearable. Now I have to share this with everyone I know.

"Can Mending reattach a severed limb?"
"No."
"Is a corpse an object?
Sighs "...Yeah."
"Mend, Revivify."
"A minute cast time is too long-"
"Gentle Repose, Mend, Revivify."

The correct order is:
Use dagger with heart (coup de grace), gentle repose, mend, revivify.
