Forgemaster

After years of working metal with magic and skill, a mage of earth and fire may lay claim to the title of forgemaster. The training required to achieve this honor is intense, but allows such a one to forge and repair with unparalleled artistry. This mastery is summed up in the forgemaster skill itself, which improves all manner of metalwork done by the scholar.

Forgemaster improves the odds of successfully shaping matter and reduces the odds of destroying the item in the process. It furthermore slightly improves the armor class bonus granted by the reinforce spell, and can also enhance the hone weapon working. Additionally, items created with the forge weapon skill will tend to be of higher quality if the smith is also trained in forgemastery.

Finally, only those with this peerless mastery will be able to carve earthen runes onto metal objects in addition to objects hewn from stone. While such carvings are limited to the forgemasters, any earth mage may invoke such runes once they have been engraved.
