Stoker's Chant (Chant)

Sidebar Heart of the Forge The stoker's chant is just as often used among smelters as among smiths, but is included here as an example of another type of dwarven chant. The stokers are dwarves who feed the fires that release metal from ore. This chant allows them to double the heat in their smelter, increasing the speed with which they process ore. All functions of the smelter happen twice as quickly.

When used by a cantor of 9th level or higher, the stoker's chant creates a special metal called forge-gold, which a knowledgeable smith can alloy with mithril or even adamantite to make it workable at lower temperatures. Mithril or adamantite alloyed with forge-gold can be worked in an ordinary forge without the need for dragon bellows, silver tongs, or the other specialized tools required for high temperature metalwork.

The material component is a dragon's fire-sac, the portion of its lungs that generates its breath weapon, shaped into a set of bellows. The component is not consumed by the casting of the chant.
