Once again when Kyonos awoke, his thoughts went to his newly made Hammer. He took it in his hands and rubbed the head of the hammer.

He concentrated on the metal that had already been formed into a Hammer. Once that was done, the Dwarf again imaged fire to assist him in entering the metal. Once this was done he pulled the well of energy from the Astral Plane to the Material Plane. He once again sought to enchant the metal.

As he attempted to hold the spell, the Dwarf stroked the Hammer trying to become part of it. Once done, he put away the hammer.

He then fired up the hearth. Soon thereafter Gimli arrived with a few long pieces of metal. As he heated on of them he said, "Today you make nails, large ones, medium ones and small ones . We are in need of a good supply of nails for the reconstruction that is taking place in Zerdargia. Watch carefully." Gimli heated and worked the metal until it became thin. Heating the tip, he hammered to a point, then he heated the metal again and using two tongs he bent the metal and broke it to be of proper length. Reheating the unsharpened end, he then bent it to form a head on the nail. Gimli did the same for two other thicknesses and lengths..

He then said, "Now you get to it and make a lot of them."

The Dwarf worked a piece for the heaviest of the nails. Following the procedure that he just watched, Kyonos heated the metal for each step as he hammered a point, made it the proper length and finally formed a head. All this work with a hammer went quickly. Before long he had enough made to start on another size and finally yet another.

As he progressed, the procedures took much less time and there was uniformity of the finished products. By the end of the day he filled several kegs with nails.
