MRPG Smithing
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.

Tools
To simplify matters, the smith will just have to carry around a toolbox for each material-type: Woodworking, Leather-working, and Metalworking. Each toolbox can provide bonuses
Ingredients
Smithing can use any of the following in various ratios and types:
- Metals
- Leathers
- Animal Teeth
- Woods
- Enchanted Items
Weapon-Crafting Process
Weapon-crafting is a two-step process. First, a blank has to be produced.
Weapon Upgrades
Existing weapons can be upgraded by a talented smith. Upgrades only take it from one 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.
Addons
Various addons can be placed on a weapon; these are similar to exotic properties but can be placed on an existing weapon.
Exotic Properties
Smiths are able to create weapons and items with special exotic properties, these are versions of existing MRPG Items that have some additional, innate property as part of the base-item and not an enchantment. Only secret grandmaster smiths can produce exotic weapons and armor.
