Might you give us some introduction into the art of smithery?

I’m pretty sure you don’t know enough about metalwork to teach me anything, and I don’t feel like giving a lecture.

All right, but I’ll keep it brief, and that must be enough. Now: the most important things in smithery are the right alloy and the right temperature. What I’m trying to say is, you can’t just forge metal in a camp fire - that won’t work. Now, a master smith will be able to forge in a camp fire, of course, and he’ll even turn out something acceptable, but you mustn’t expect any miracles…
