FORGECRAFT (2452)
Syntax: inherent 'forgecraft' <weapon> Working a forge has been done by Dwarves for so long that it is second nature to them. They are able to reforge metal weapons into stronger, more accurate weapons. This can only be done in a forge, and will take quite a bit of time. There are limitations as to what you can forgecraft- the weapon must do its harm by physical means, not elemental or magical forces. Also, the dwarf must understand how to use the weapon in question. Finally, a novice cannot expect to improve upon the finest work of great men- as the dwarf advances in level, they will be able to rework weapons of increasing craftsmanship. If a weapon has any negative qualities, the forging has a chance to remove those. A dwarf with the forgeborn edge has a higher chance of removing more of these imperfections. Attempting to forgecraft a broken weapon will attempt to fix the weapon rather than improve it. This does not inhibit any future improvements. There is always a small chance that an attempt at Forgecraft will destroy the weapon. This improvement can only be done once per weapon. See also: DWARF, INHERENT
