Sheolred just smiled at Magnus's inexperience with working Cold iron. It was unfortunately not quite as flashy as he may think, as it was simply a matter of covering the iron in a special coating and heating it over what Sheo considers "A grill". Still at least the components might have caught his attention: A vial of demonic ichor, some sort of green salt, mountain water, the tongue of a bull, and a roll of fuchsia ribbon. Once she had purchased these things Sheo took Magnus over to a forge where they could work the metal.<br/><br/>What was likely the most lengthy process would be actually getting the iron ready to be shaped, since once it was ready they could fold the metal if they had to. She first began by fulling a large bucket with the water, mixing it carefully with the sea salt. The bucket was large enough to hold all the ore they brought up, though when she put the ore into the water there was enough ore for more than half to be sitting out in the air.<span style="color: lightgreen">"Alright Magnus, while other smiths have fancier ways of working cold iron, this is probably the simplest with limited resources. As you can guess, cold iron has to be worked while it's 'cold', that is, you can't heat it up. That's a bit of a misunderstanding though: you do need to heat it, just not too long. After all, if that was to case than those fey folk could disable cold iron with a fireball spell. Now first you need to soak the iron in mountain water. It has to be mountain water for it's mineral properties, because the next part can damage the iron."</span><br/><br/>Sheo than took the mysterious green salt and threw it into the water. It turned the water into a light yellow and sizzling sounds could be heard. Peering into the water it looked like parts of the iron ore were getting fried.<span style="color: lightgreen">"This is an Oghren favorite. It's name is self-explanatory: Salt Polish. It's a salt that polishes. Specifically, it's a salt that helps get rid of impurities depending on what sort of salt your using. A common type of Salt Polish is a type used to clean the tarnish off gold and silver, but I found these salts that get rid of impurities in iron. We'd need to let the iron soak in this for a while."</span>So for the next while Sheo and Magnus shifted the iron ores for the water to remove the impurities. It was a good thing they brought in a large haul, as by the time they were finished there was only two thirds the amount of rocks they had brought up. Still enough for a good suit of armor, but there was a lot of impurities in their iron.<br/><br/><span style="color: lightgreen">"Now for the fun part. This is Demonic Ichor. Stuff burns like the hell they come from, and it's that quality we'd need to help shape the metal. Because unless you got magic that moves the earth, the rest of us mundane folks still have to hammer this metal together. See, that's the trick to cold iron: Figuring out new ways to shape it without a forge. Still, we have a forge here and we're going to use it. But we have to be careful. With this Demonic Ichor we don't have to use a very high heat as the stuff would weaken the iron enough that we won't risk making it lose it's natural properties. But before we do that, what sort of armor do you want Mangus? I can treat the armor to fix the damage done by the ichor, but we only got one shot at this. If you don't like what we make, well you're stuck with it unless you get me more iron and another thing of demonic ichor."</span>Sheo held the bottle of demonic ichor in her hand ready to mix it into the iron. She also had that beef tongue skewered in a stick being heated over a low heat at the furnace. It was a snack.
