*Enchanted Iron* has the +2 rank bonus, unenchanted iron is good for, well, getting enchanted. Unenchanted Iron is the equivalent of Bronze.

Yes they can, it just takes a lot of explanation (from the player to the narrator, from the character to the priests of the cults involved). Some cults probably have no problems, others won't let you evenb consider it. CA certainly won't let you initiate to a cult that teaches or encourages violence, frex.

The narrator has the power to make such a character have time or resource problems (those 60% & 30% resource restrictions could easily overlap, and probably do).
