Okay, this is the fourth time I'm writing this. If I seem snippy, it's anger at my laptop, not the writeup above.

If I'm understanding this correctly, this is similar to lunaruen in that you are enchanting an item with an extant spell (known to the metaltheurge or an assistant). The difference is that you are enchanting the metal itself rather than placing a rune or glyphs on it. Is that about right?

The mechanics of this skill seem a bit clunky, but that's easily correctable in a second draft. Is there really a reason for this skill to be a proficiency (with attendant dice rolls) at all? Most craft skills are apprenticeships because there's not much point in rolling for success if the only real penalty for failure is a bit longer of a handwaved time in the workshop. Are the maximum potential of the effects based on the skill, or the roll? That would explain this being a proficiency, but this isn't (yet) clear from the text.
