You can forge and harden iron.4th: 1800 to 2600 degrees Fahrenheit – Metal glows white-hot. You can forge and harden steel.5th: 2600 to 3200 degrees Fahrenheit – Iron melts. You can temper mithril.6th: 3200 to 4000 degrees Fahrenheit – You can forge and harden mithril.7th: 4000 to 4800 degrees Fahrenheit – Mithril melts. You can temper adamantine.8th: 4800 to 5600 degrees Fahrenheit – You can forge and harden adamantine.9th: 5600 to 6400 degrees Fahrenheit – Melt adamantine (destroying the crucible in the process) (5600 to 6400 Fahrenheit.)(Note: For Adamantine, I used the melting point of Tungsten.)(Clearly unfinished – I'll get back to this shortly.)</blockquote>
