I can see that as a thing, a special functional block for melting metal into shapes. Ok, but why not take it further: treating the blade in water, applaying runes for special effects (if you're Elven, Dwarven or Evil aligned) and even sharpening with a grinding stone and polishing with whetstones? This would be a time taking process but blades (like Elven) could have much, much more durability (the curent 600 average sucks) and special effects (so without doing all the better stuff, Elven swords won't glow near Orcs because you didn't craft it properly) Similarly to armor, it would have to be made in pieces and padded with leather or cloth or whatever in special tanning tables so that they are much more resource demaning but the durability could increase; items in the mod are just appalling (my Wood Elven helmet only has a durability of 330! Not to mention that all armor pieces should have the same durability...) This would make forging expensive (especially for better races) and more time taking but definitely worthwhile!
