Everything is flammable here. Since you can't use magic, please tell me there is another way to see in the dark beyond using a flame?

Only if you're not careful. Melt a bit of wax onto a plate, use that to affix the candle to it. Or ask the smiths for a holder and a shield. I think we have someone that works glass. Maybe.

[lifeofadeathseeker]

Wait, working with glass is possible without magic?

[skyward_eyes]

Of course it is. Melt down some silcia, or even sand, roll that stuff up, put it on a blowing tube. Dangerous, yeah, but like... That's how all glass was made prior to mechanization.

Okay I have no idea what 'mechanization' means first and second creating the heat needed would be something the artisan making it used a rune for.

So are other crafts that require heat possible? Is metalworking?

[skyward_eyes]

Oh boy, you're definitely from a different world. Even Bull has machines of a sort.

Yes, metalworking and glassblowing both only require a hot enough furnace I think. Which is covered at the forge. I don't know if Stark would want someone stumbling around who is actually just awed at the basic step of firing coal for long periods of time.

Still, you should check it out. Pretty basic stuff.
