Smelting
Melt ore into ingots at a forge, and sand into glass. Each metal needs more skill; glass is how a beginner learns.

How it grows
Like every skill it runs from 0 to 100 and rises a tenth of a point at a time as you use it: quickly while it is low, hardly at all on work far beneath you. Every try at a recipe trains it, more for harder recipes. Failures teach too.
All your skills together hold 700 points. Set Smelting to rise, fall or hold in the Skills window (K). A people that is good at it starts 10 points higher, 15 on its own path, and raises it a fifth more often for life.
Titles
When Smelting is your best skill, it names you:
- 30 Neophyte Smelter
- 40 Novice Smelter
- 50 Apprentice Smelter
- 60 Journeyman Smelter
- 70 Expert Smelter
- 80 Adept Smelter

- 100 Grandmaster Smelter
What you can make (2)
Below the first number you can't make it; at it you succeed half the time; at the second, every time. A failed try loses half the ingredients.
