Forging. :: Where a Swordsmith invests his blood, sweat and tears the most during this process. The swordsmith had to shape and mix metals of different known qualities, some softer for the core or sides, some harder for edge and point. This was done by pressing harder steel around softer iron so that the blade could flex under sudden impact but resist deformation. Hammers chimes and the anvil cries, the Swordsmith needs to masterfully mould the metal to his liking over a short span of a few ticks, before the metal glows and fades into a dull grey colour. Reheating of the blade is often needed before the Swordsmith can achieve the :: Length :: Thickness :: Width :: of the sword. :: :: Now the forging is done. Tempering is now due.
