'''Casting''' is the process of smelting ore into a liquid state and molding the molten metal into quick and convenient tool heads and ingots. While not inherently the most important facet of metallurgy, it is one of the first gateways by which a seraph can forge ahead into the throes of advancement and survival. | '''Casting''' is the process of smelting {{ll|Ore|ore}} into a liquid state and {{ll|Mold|molding}} the molten {{ll|Metal|metal}} into quick and convenient tool heads and ingots.

The first step to processing metal is smelting, which is performed in a crucible. A single crucible can hold up to four complete stacks of 128 nuggets, however only one pure metal or alloy may be smelted within the crucible at a time. Each nugget is equivalent to 5 units of metal, which means that a full crucible can hold up to the equivalent of 2560 units. Most tools or ingots require 100 units (20 nuggets) per mold, with the exception of a few larger items, such as plates, anvils, and metal blocks, which can require significantly more. | The first step to processing metal is smelting, which is performed in a crucible.
