[QUOTE="CullAfulMoshuN, post: 54050, member: 1270"] Reading the heat metal spell, I don't think it would get hot enough to smelt iron, at best can only do 2d4 damage for one round so even a maximized heat metal can only do 8 points per round at best and items only take half damage from energy attacks. Therefore the 4th level melting spell mentioned would be required. From song and silence to make a helpful magical "trap" (read location fixed magical item/effect) with an automatic reset cost 500gp x Caster Level x Spell Level + the cost of the smelter (1000gp or 6000gp going by the previous persons post). Magic melting Smelter: 500 x 4 x 7 = 14,000gp + 1000gp or 6000gp depending upon size of smelter. Alternately, you could use lesser planar binding to bind a Large fire elemental into the smelter for a set period (probably 1-10 years) for a bribe of a set price or service determined by your DM. A much more interesting method with the risk of it breaking free if the smelter is destroyed. [/QUOTE]
