Instant Forge

Instant forge [Major] by Iczer

"Look..I'm drawing a sword right out of the stone. I'm the next king of England!"

The character can cause solid rock or bare earth to 'give up' their precious elements forming small balls of shapeable metal. The character simply touches the ground (or concrete or rock or earth) and expends 4 actions to draw the metal out. The object gives up 1/10th of its SDC (and 2 AR) as the metallic fragments are dragged through its mass which form in the characters hand.
A solid stone or rocky object, up to about a half ton yields about 2D4 pounds of metal (plus one pound every level, the character gains efficiency) . Heavier objects can be targeted multiple times, smaller or lighter objects much less. The ground usually yields that amount over a 20 foot area. To use this power again requires that the character change location or dig down to gain access to new earth. Mineral poor soil, or sand will yield proportionately less metal.
Once the metal is in the character's hand, he may either mine for more on the next round, or forge a solid object. Forging a solid object requires one action per pound of metal required. The character has a general blacksmith skill using this power of 65% +5% per level. Weapons made are not exceptionally well made (unless the character has other correspondingly useful skills) but are ideally made for him and have a +1 to strike, parry and +2 damage when he wields them himself.
The character can feel the iron content in the ground he is walking on, to a depth of about 15 feet +5 feet per level as well as through stone or concrete walls. His natural metal affinity adds +10% to most mechanical skills and technical skills where metal tools are required.
Against creatures composed of stone or earth, the character can simply 'swirl the metal around' inflicting 5D6 damage.
