Such was my intent. It is one thing to make iron usable, by enchanting it and getting rid of its magic dampening power. It is another magic entirely to make a sword magical.

Or more to the point, to give them properties that will make them as good as bronze, for weapon purposes.

I have never imagined thunderstones to be metal.

The redsmith needs his ability to make an axe. The enchant Copper gives it properties that are the equivalent of bronze.
