	Smithing is the art of making weapons and armor. In Mage Wars RPG, smithing ~~is actually a blanket-term to cover~~ all ~~crafting of~~ basic, non-magical items, and thus includes leather-working, fletching, and metalworking ~~under a single, unified field~~.		Smithing is the art of making weapons and armor. In Mage Wars RPG, smithing includes all basic, non-magical items, and thus includes leather-working, fletching, and metalworking alike.

Smithing creates only base items which are not magical. However, higher-level smiths can create better bases, potentially with better base stats.

	===Weapon-Crafting Process===		===Weapon-Crafting Process===
	Weapon-crafting is a two-step process. First, a blank has to be produced. An existing item of the same type can also be used as a blank('''Example:''' when crafting a longsword, you can begin with a longsword-blank). See the [[MRPG Smithing Blanks]] page for detailed information.		Weapon-crafting is a two-step process. First, a blank has to be produced. An existing item of the same type can also be used as a blank ('''Example:''' when crafting a longsword, you can begin with a longsword-blank). See the [[MRPG Smithing Blanks]] page for detailed information.

	Once the blank is crafted, it is combined with smaller amounts of other materials to produce the finished product. To finish a blank into a completed Basic, usable item, all you need is 1 additional unit of each basic material, again in the desired final quality.

	Any material can be [[MRPG Materials#Imbued\|imbued]] with certain energies. In order for the property to hold, every piece of that material must be imbued. '''Example:''' a longsword requires 3 ingots of metal, all 3 must be -imbued in order for the finished sword to have the imbued property.

'''Example:''' a longsword requires 3 ingots of metal, all 3 must be -imbued in order for the finished sword to have the imbued property.

	Each material type(metal, wood, leather) can be separately imbued. So a weapon using all three material-types can have three separate imbued properties. Imbuing alos stacks, thus a Poor quality sword that is tripple Fire-Imbued would deal 3 additional points of Fire damage.		Each material type (metal, wood, leather) can be separately imbued. So a weapon using all three material-types can have three separate imbued properties. Imbuing alos stacks, thus a Poor quality sword that is tripple Fire-Imbued would deal 3 additional points of Fire damage.

	Imbuing must be carried out by the smith, and it must be preformed on the lowest-level of the material(ore, pieces, or chips). Refined materials cannot be imbued(though refined materials with the imbued property ~~alread on them~~ may randomly drop).

	===Weapon Upgrades===		===Weapon Upgrades===
	Existing weapons can be upgraded by a talented smith. Upgrades only take it from one [[MRPG Weapons and Armor#Quality\|quality-level]] to another. This takes essentially the same amount of materials as it would to make successively improved versions of the weapon(taking a poor sword up to Very Fine would require as much material as making Simple, Fine, and Very Fine swords). However, item enchantments, runes, and other upgrades are retained.		Existing weapons can be upgraded by a talented smith.

However, item enchantments, runes, and other upgrades are retained.

	The process, very simply, involves crafting a blank of the next-highest and an appropriate resin. The process is covered under [[MRPG Ritual Enchanting#Quality Improvement\|Quality Improvement]].

			==Weapon Plus Values==
			In order to craft a +value, multiple blanks must be combined with a completed core. All blanks must be of the same quality-level, and of course the same blank. In order to add a +, a number of blanks equal to twice the intended + must be added to the core. To create a +1, the smith would need a finished core and two blanks.

			This can only be done immediately after the original core has been finished, or to an item with ''no added special properties''(no enchantments, runes, or other addons). It can have exotic properties or any property that could be added within the smithing process.
