Maker marks are a stamp that allows a crafter to apply a mark to their wares.
Creation
Forging of the mark requires the Maker Mark Design technique.
The mark instructions are purchased in the Forging Society.
The mark's nature is set by the purchaser of the instructions, not the actual crafter of the mark. This allows someone without the skill to make a mark to give it to a crafter that does.
Each set of instructions will allow creation of one single mark.
The syntax is MARK <item> WITH STAMP but can only be done for a short period of time after the completion of the item.
Use
The stamp can only be used by the person who purchased the original instructions. Advanced and Custom marks will be restricted to disciplines where the mark user has either careers or hobbies.
- That doesn't appear to be your stamp. You consider the penalties the Society would impose upon you for such a transgression, and decide to stop the marking.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type | Difficulty | Weight | Durability | Speed Cap | Durability | Speed |
| basic <metal> stamp | 6 - s. challenging | 5 x density | 16 - unusually resilient | 8 - exceptionally effective | 5 - particularly weak | ? - extremely effective |
Cap indicates the best possible score that can be reached using normal metals. It should be noted that it is not possible to reach both caps in the same item.
Basic
Basic maker marks are available after approximately 150 hard work orders in any craft (or about 300 challenging), assuming no prestige decay due to time. They will impress the person's initials into the item.
Advanced
These marks are not available yet, but will consist of a set series of design elements that can be combined to a unique mark.
Custom
The marks are not available, but will likely be similar to the current marks.
Legacy
Marks from the previous forging system will eventually be converted to the new one at an undisclosed time.
