Steel lump
Creation

Activate glowing hot charcoal (> 0.20kg) Right-click Iron lump (> 0.20kg) Open submenu "Create > Resources"
Result
0.40kg Steel lump
Skill and improvement
Uses metallurgy skill Cannot be improved
Properties
Can be combined when glowing hot.

A heavy lump of dark steel.

Tools made from steel take 20% less damage from use than similar quality iron versions.

A minimum of 0.20kg for both iron and coal is needed for creation. For both materials, regardless of how large a bundle may be, only 0.20kg is used.
A success consumes 0.20kg iron and 0.20kg of coal and results in a 0.40kg steel lump.
A failed attempt decreases both the charcoal and the iron lumps' weight by 0.04kg.
The quality of the charcoal affects the success chance as well as the likelihood the lump will be high quality.
The quality of the iron lump caps the quality of the steel lump.
Only the charcoal needs to be glowing hot.

-* As of [http://wurmpedia.com/index.php/Wurm_Server_Release_Notes_2011#111110_Successful_Epic_debugging this patch], steel items now take reduced damage on use. Steel pickaxes take 20% less damage from use than similar quality iron pickaxes.  Tested 7/11/2012 on Celebration server using QL 1 steel and iron pickaxes.  The iron pickaxe took 0.15 damage every 5 seconds while the steel pickaxe took 0.12 damage. Thus 0.12/0.15 = .80 for a 20% damage reduction.
