A walking forge is a towering construct of glowing hot metal filled with blazing coals and thick smoke. Its mere presence causes nearby temperatures to soar, whilst embers trail its every movement. As the name implies, a walking forge's body can be used as a furnace and is hot enough to melt metal, so the mage who creates a walking forge typically does so with the intent to use it for smithing magical items. Unlike many other constructs, such as most golems, a walking forge is empowered not by a spirit of elemental earth, but rather one of elemental fire, granting it limitless heat, though, at the command of its creator, it can regulate the heat it generates or even shut it off entirely. Construct Nature. A walking forge doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep.
