"What are you trying to make?" Brad and Reese had been meditating in the forge while Ralh had started to work. He had a large stack of books around him that he had been careful to keep well away from any forge flames at all.
"I have been making ingots with my partner. He can already melt the iron and keep it from being brittle. That's just how great we are." Ralph's bragging was just enough to make Reese and Brad both shake their heads.
"The issue is when we try to shape it afterwards. I have no idea what I am supposed to be doing with it." This was the crux of where Ralph found his issues. Because of his molten boar, he could not have molten metal or heated metal at a call. But when it came to making it in to anything that wasn't some basic ingot, he was lost.
Ralph should be able to learn well, he already has a head start.
