Manuals of Blacksmithing

Manuals of Blacksmithing are book items that a Blacksmith can read to unlock certain "magical" weapon recipes at the forge, once the level requirement for the item is met.

The swords that can be unlocked by the manuals are usually more powerful compared to regular weapons that can be purchased from the Village Shoppe or created at the forge, and appear with unique glow/particle effects when wielded by a hero. These special weapons are also far more valuable than normal weapons, but – as in the case of the Doomsword and Angel's Talon – require very rare ingredients.

Manuals of Blacksmithing books can either be bought from the Village Shoppe, or obtained as loot from several Random Events.
