Grasgil needs to be frozen instead of heated in order to forge, effectively being processed through an inverted method compared to other metals.

A magical cold flame | Grasgil needs to be frozen instead of heated in order to forge, effectively being processed through an inverted method compared to other metals. The [Smith] risks chilblains and frostbites when forging it, as fire-resistance Skills common in the profession will offer no protection. A magical cold flame is needed to freeze the raw Grasgil in a basin, then Everfrozen Ice powder is applied to mix with the metal, making it colder and prevents it from melting while the [Smith] hammers it in its solid state. | ||
Grasgil won't hold any shape if too warm while being hammered; thus it requires to be reapplied to the Everfrozen Ice and the cold flame periodically. This is a delicate balance, as making it colder makes the metal stronger, but it cannot become so cold as to turn brittle and shatter under the [Smith]'s hammer. Grasgil will progressively become more solid and more immovable as time passes while forging. Near completion, Everfrozen Ice is hammered into the metal one last time. Afterwards, the edge of the Grasgil weapon is alternated between exposure to a regular warm flame and the cold flame to soften it and work the edge. Once again, a balance must be held to keep the edge from freezing over but preventing the heat from deforming it. | Grasgil won't hold any shape if too warm while being hammered; thus it requires to be reapplied to the Everfrozen Ice and the cold flame periodically.
