[Feature Request] Cold Wrought Iron
I love the cold iron armor, but it is a little OP for how easy it is to get. Also, from a mythology standpoint, it doesn't make sense. The cold iron is so cold, or magically inert or something, that not even swimming in lava damages it, or the person wearing it. But it's smelted in a regular furnace with regular fuel.
What i was thinking is that the cold iron should be "cold wrought", like, literally worked without heat. Instead of being smelted in a furnace, the ores and dusts could be turned into ingots with an anvil, at the cost of 2 levels per ingot (and the expense of/damage to an anvil).
Another idea, smelting cold iron in a furnace would give normal iron, it's special magical properties are lost. That way, if you're feeling an iron crunch from some iron hungry mod, you could turn your excess cold iron into mundane iron.
