[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 3933583, member: 19675"] For stuff that is hard to work with, like anodized aluminum or titanium, the metalworking would be limited to either working shards of the stuff into other things- bezel mounting it to make lightweight studs or some such; filing & crushing it into a more useful shape- there are still things (like the odd golem) capable of exerting pressure with supernatural strength, for instance; or working with the shape of what you have- a hard-anodized aluminum pot could make a decent helm with padding. And, of course, everything is easier with magic. The odd Inheritor forge-master could still have a secret up his sleeve gleaned from his former master. I doubt any of the truly exotic stuff would exist in quantities great enough to do something with, but there may still be something left over and relatively intact from the pre-ELE days. A single surviving suit of military "power armor," for example, stripped of its electronics and servos (or their advanced magical equivalent) and enchanted as a suit of full-plate could be the equivalent of a relic or artifact.
