To see what is required to make a certain kind of metal, use the command
'make <type> <amount> materials'. To see the materials to make 3 steel
bars, it would be 'make 3 steel materials'.
The process of smelting requires a cauldron and match or firepit. To begin
making 3 bars of steel, use the command 'make 3 steel'.
All required materials will be placed in the cauldron and a small fire will
start. The fire must be stoked until the flames are white in order to smelt
ores, with the command 'stoke fire. The flames may cool over time and need
stoking again. The success rate of the stoke command relies entirely on the
blacksmithing skill.
Impurities, also known as 'dross', may gather on the surface of the cauldron
and must be skimmed off with the command 'skim dross'. Until one has
mastered the blacksmithing skill, it's possible to skim off too much dross
and destroy the liquid ores.
Using the command 'heat state' will examine the flames and the cauldron,
urging you to stoke the fire if it's not hot enough or skim the dross off
the surface.
