'''Metal''' is a [[material]] extracted from [[ore]] at a [[smelter]]. It is then sometimes combined with other materials to form an '''alloy''' metal. An alloy usually improves on the properties of its components to give more uses and [[Item value|value]]. The metal bars resulting from the [[smelting]] are used to make items such as [[weapon]]s, [[armor]], and [[furniture]] at a [[Metalsmith's forge|forge]].

==Alloys==
Many metals can be mixed together to create alloys, in a few cases these alloys will result in an overall increase in value or the resultant alloy will be more powerfull for use in weapons or armour. However a large number of alloys result in no overall increase in wealth. The main use of these alloys is to allow you to dilute down any valuble metals you import.

== List of metals ==

"Reaction" indicates the recipe for an alloy metal; this does not include the [[fuel]] used in their creation.

Fire imps are nasty little creatures that live in [[magma]] vents. They usually don't roam far from the vent, but they will surface and attack the odd dwarf who dares use their vent to fuel his [[magma smelter]]. They are rather small and easy to kill, but are able to breathe fire that deals high damage and ignites objects and creatures. If you insist on using imp-infested magma for your metalworks, consider setting traps or stationing marksdwarves around the furnaces. They cannot be butchered, but once killed their corpses will decay. Crafts made from their bones are quite valuable.

== Upon Decay ==

* fire imp [[bone]]s [3]
* fire imp [[skull]]
== Interesting Note ==
When Fire Imps are injured, they bleed Goo.
