[QUOTE="Rick Oneil, post: 7155806, member: 6892638"] [url]http://www.thomasnet.com/articles/custom-manufacturing-fabricating/hot-forging-cold-forging[/url] more technical then gaming, but the main point here is the recrystallization point. so if you have a large chunk of natural iron you could hammer it into a sword or spear point or dagger. Most iron on Earth come in small pebble sized pieces. it would take alot of work to hammer them together [basically impossible]. However meteors which are mostly iron and have had the outer impurities burnt off in entering the atmosphere would probably have big enough pieces for a couple of daggers and maybe even a short or long sword. Remember this is I believe how Excalibur [the Singing Sword] was supposedly made. Has for being good against fey and demons, well it comes from Heaven so it slays demons and its not natural to Earth so it keeps the l'il people honest. Also this makes such weapons extremely rare and worth fighting wars over. And a blacksmith would need a MU of some high level to help with the process. Very expensive. [/QUOTE]
