Coal

Coal is a material used in crafting, primarily to combine with iron to form steel.

While coal is classified as a metal under the DragonRealms crafting system, and can be found in mines as if it were a metal ore, unlike other crafting metals coal cannot be combined into ingots or other large quantities in a crucible.

Coal does not occupy space within a crucible, and does not contribute to the stats of a mix. Currently, it's sole use is to make steel and will burn off in all other mixes.
