	It has long been held that magical metals cannot be forged, and must instead be molded, retaining properties only in this way. They also cannot be alloyed, and must be pure. However, the existence of many forged [[orichalcum]] and [[adamantium]] artifacts would beg to differ. Even forged alloy items, though exceptionally rare, have been found. The exact method of making them is considered lost.		It has long been held that magical metals cannot be forged, and must instead be molded, retaining properties only in this way.
