By means of this spell, the caster forms an existing piece of nonmagical metal into any shape that suits his or her purpose. For example, the caster can fashion a metal weapon, a special trapdoor, or a crude idol. While metal coffers can be thus formed, metal doors made, and so on the fineness of detail is not great. If the shaping has moving parts, there is a 30% they do not work, if the shaping has a sharp edge, there is only a 30% chance it is sharp enough to cut. However, if this spell is employed on metal prior to it being worked upon by a smith, it reduces the time and expense to create the final product by 50% or more, as adjudicated by the DM.
The material component is lead, worked with a hammer into roughly the desired shape of the metal object
Notes: Granted by the dwarven god, Flandal Steelskin.
