scrap <object>
This skill allows a thief experienced with metallurgy to break down metal weapons, armor, parts, liquid containers and treasure such as jewelry into raw materials for forging. Pieces are often broken when rendering them down for scrap. Catastrophic failure, particularly of very small, complex or highly magical pieces, is common, even for expert scrappers.
Use of this skill does not require a forge. The object is merely disassembled and the choicest pieces of metal saved, as opposed to attempting to melt down the entire object, which would result in hopelessly impure and contaminated metal. Higher difficulty metals are more difficult to scrap. Thief level and skill proficiency determine success, and high dexterity also helping.
The resulting scraps can be used at a forge for making new objects.
