Only a master smith may forge
the blade.
Once the ore is found, it must
be broken into 2 portions with
a forging hammer and a
smithing chisel.
First you must form the core
of the blade.
Take one portion of the
starmetal and apply the bone
dust in the forge. Then, with
a hammer and chisel, fold the
the blade.

block of ore. You must repeat
this 5 times to homogenize the
steel. After the 5th fold,
take the hammer to the ore and
shape the core into a curved
blade.
Now for the "skin" of the
blade. Apply the remaining
bone dust to the last portion
of starmetal. Fold this block
of ore, as with the core, 10

difficult and time consuming
steps. After the 10th fold
block, apply the skin to the
core with the hammer. The last
step in the forging process is
taking the whole blade and
shaping it into a suitable
naginata blade.

tempering of the blade. This
includes a mixture of clay and
water for the differential
tempering process. Combine a
small block of clay with a
flask of water at the potter's
wheel. Then take the clay and
apply it to the blade at the
wheel as well, leaving the
edge of it exposed. Allow it
to dry. The last step is to

into a fluid to temper. In
this case, a special fluid
must be found.
In the mountains of Kunark one
can find a very caustic type
of mist that freezes and
collects at high altitudes.
Find a portion of this ice and
use it for the tempering. Good
luck.
