The name
Iron is shaped in the heat
A blacksmith does not shape iron cold. It goes into the fire in stages, from a dull black heat to yellow-white, and at each stage it can be shaped a little more. Forged works the same way. Five stages, each one building on the last, until what comes out is strong enough to carry weight.
Prelude
Black heat
New Beginnings
Dull red
Foundation Building
Cherry red
Advancement
Orange
Mastery / Maturity
Yellow-white
