This is a pretty good suggestion, very in depth, however, there is one thing, Mithril and True silver were two names for the same thing, the metal itself is given several names in lore, amongst them, Moria silver, true silver, Mithril, and another name used by the Dwarves only that's never mentioned. True silver was simply the mannish name for Mithril, and Mithril the elvish name for it. The quote you cited even states that, though in a somewhat confusing way, the 'metal light, yet harder than tempered steel' is simply saying that they could smelt the ore the same way that a blacksmith smelts Iron ore and then forges it to make steel.

Like I said though, other than that point, it was an excellent suggestion, and I love new ideas for smithing systems.
