Magazine: Blunt Forge is a blacksmithing magazine about heavy striking tools. Reading it teaches six forge recipes for hammer heads, a pick head and a crowbar.
The recipes are Forge Claw Hammer Head, Forge Ball-peen Hammer Head, Forge Club Hammer Head, Forge Pick Axe Head, Forge Sledgehammer Head and Forge Crowbar. All of them belong to the Blacksmithing skill and need a lit forge. They range from middle levels to the very top of the skill.
The magazine is found in loot, mostly in gun stores, hunting lodges, libraries and tool stores. Reading it also eases boredom and stress.
Uses
The easier half of the magazine needs Blacksmithing level 4. Forge Claw Hammer Head and Forge Ball-peen Hammer Head work at a Simple Forge or better. Forge Club Hammer Head needs an Advanced Forge. The heads are later fitted to handles to make the full tools.
The harder half needs an Advanced Forge and real experience. Forge Pick Axe Head needs Blacksmithing level 7. Forge Sledgehammer Head needs level 8. Forge Crowbar needs level 9 and uses a Steel Bar with five Charcoal.
Each recipe is also learned without the magazine once the skill climbs high enough. The hammer heads come at Blacksmithing level 6, the Pick Axe Head at 8, the Sledgehammer Head at 9 and the Crowbar at 10. Reading the magazine early lets a smith start on these tools sooner.
The Blacksmith occupation and the Blacksmith Knowledge trait start with all six recipes known.
Like every magazine, it also counts as paper for armour. Make Magazine Body Armor takes eight magazines and four Duct Tape at Tailoring level 1. Make Magazine Limb Armor takes one magazine and two Duct Tape.

Locations
The magazine is uncommon. Magazine shelves in gun stores and hunting lodges are the best place to look. Library shelves, tool store shelves and university library shelves hold it less often. Gun store shelves and tool store counters turn one up now and then. Attics, bedrooms, closets, garages and storage units hold one only rarely.

Notes
- The Crowbar leaves the forge as a finished tool, while the heads still need a handle.
- Four of the six recipes need an Advanced Forge.
- High Blacksmithing teaches every recipe here without the magazine.
- Blacksmith characters already know the whole set.
