Smithing (Skyrim)

"Those trained to use Heavy Armor make more effective use of Iron, Steel, Dwarven, Orcish, Ebony and Daedric armors."

Smithing is a new skill that is to be introduced in Skyrim. Smithing is one of the 18 skills and falls under The Warrior (Skyrim) play-style. As such, it acts as The Warrior's crafting skill as opposed to The Mage (Skyrim)'s Enchanting and The Thief (Skyrim)'s Alchemy. It moves away from the Armorer Skills of previous games, in that it revolves around improving weapons functionality.

In order to utilize this skill you must visit a Blacksmith's shop or Smithy. Inside is be a forge (for creating new weapons and armor from raw materials), a grindstone (to improve weapons), smithing bench (to improve armor) and a smelter (to change raw material into ingots).
