Forge Fire

This spell enables a dwarf to create a strong, efficient fire in a forge or furnace without burning up large quantities of fuel. Only a small bundle of sticks or a single lump of coal is needed to start a forge fire. Thereafter, the fire burns without need for more fuel for the duration of the spell. No harmful gases are given off by the use of this spell. The spell only works in a smithy forge or smelting furnace consecrated when constructed to accept the spell, in a special ceremony performed by a dwarven priest that includes the casting of a prayer spell.

The power and heat of the fire, and the metals that can be forged, increase with the caster's level as follows:

3rd Level: Lead, zinc, tin.

5th Level: Copper, silver, gold, brass, bronze, electrum.

7th Level: iron, common steel alloys, meteoritic-steel alloy.

9th Level: Mithral steel alloy, platinum.

16th Level: Adamantite-steel alloy.

The material components for this spell include the bundle of sticks or lump of coal used as starter fuel and a pinch of sulphur.
