We'll probably need smaller gloves that don't fall off. They don't need to be fitted if they're not here for work, but its safer in case they touch something they shouldn't.

Sort of. To change the color of steel, its all about heat and oxidization. Which I can do consistently when I've worked through a sample of a batch of steel. The normal process is a lot more by chance since even machines can't do the precision control of heat that I can. You can definitely get to reds, though its usually easier to do purples, blues, and oranges. I may be able to manage a darker pink.

Wow, I had no idea! All of the weapons that I'm familiar with from Remnant were all either grey or black metal -- it's common to paint weapons, but I can't think of any color-tinted steel.

I'm looking forward to experimenting with that, then, I'd love to learn the process.

It takes a lot of precision and careful control of heat, especially to avoid compromising the metal. Its doable, though usually what color can be promised is more a range than an exact kind. I can do exact because I can control the heat that precisely.

So I imagine even if your smiths know how to do it, it wouldn't be offered commonly since weapons are often in high demand in your world? It'd be either something done for fun or custom.

But I can teach you, yes.
