The sound of a forge is as seeped into your memory as the sound of your mother's voice. Raised in a house of steel benders, you too were taught the craft and trade. You know the song of every type of metal as a hammer strikes it, or as oil cools it. You know how to make a short sword for the finest guard, or a hand ax for the heftiest of lumberjacks. Smithing is in your blood, and you find it high time too bring these skills on the road. To sell your crafts to great adventures, and to test that, your steel slashes, bashes, and holds as strong as you and your family claims. Your skin used to the feeling of hot forge fires.

This pendent has been passed down your family's line of blacksmiths. At first glance it looks like a small brass hammer with a silver chain about your neck. However, when the pendent gets closer to whatever raw materials you're searching for. Simple hold the pendent by the chain while thinking of the material you're searching for. The closer you get the brighter it glows, and the shade of the glow signifies its quantity. Whether it being trapped in the walls of old caves or bits of an object you found on your travels. Find out what it's made from and how much there is before you can say "Well smelt my iron, and call me Jose!"
Ex: you're in a shop in need of silver. The shop keep has left their simpleton of a son to hold the front desk and has no idea what anything is made from. Simply hold up the pendent think of silver, you walk up to a shelf of candlesticks and various metal objects, the pendent doesn't glow so none are made of iron. You move onto a wall of shields and the pendent glows a faint yellow light, meaning likely these shields have iron barrings or nails. Finally you go to a shelf of jewelry and large metal jugs and containers. Your pendent hovers over a large capped jug bound with leather. it glows brightly with an orange color, this jug beneath it's leather cover was just what what you're looking for!
