A way to make steel that doesnt suck has come

[CorwinOfAmber]

We can kindle right? so get some deep artifice and an ever glowing ember and use it to make something that will cause the steel to stop like smelting ore or making wrought iron but wont progress it. Ever glowing embers arent too great to study but are kinda tough to get but anyone could get them, toss in the use of hearth magic, require a few skills. balanced? big towns will obviously be able to make this upgrade quick with a mass coal burning, hermits can still find some and be happy, win win?

What?

when you smelt ore and it runs out of fuel it stops smelting but doesnt drop the progress. Steel restarts, you lose all progress. use magic to fix it, to use magic use special item and some skills cause balance and it's a game. understand meow?

Ok I think I can translate ideas. He wanting some hearth magical spell that will use everglowing ember as reagent for casting. When you will casting the enchantment on steel crucible, instead of restart progress on no fuel, it will remain where it is at for you to refuel continue with later. This will last for some time e.g. 12hr/ember used of time with no fuel before reset progress. Is this correct and sense making?

I don't like this idea tbh. Don't see any use case for it

Pretty much just for hermit who does not play for more than 12 hour segment.

Ysh gets me.

I think this could be nice, trying to make steel as a hermit is a bitch as is. And if the everglowing ember could somehow help keep it from restarting the timer if fuel runs out, I don't think it would be overpowered. One would have to miss out on the lp from the everglowing ember ofc, while bigger factions could be studying them and just have people rotating fuel and keep the steel going just fine.
