> analyze hammer

You analyze the diagonal-peen hammer and learn more about its construction.
When crafting is complete this will be a type of finished metal forging tool.
Although finished, the metal will quickly rust and wear if not properly protected. POUR OIL on the hammer to complete the forging process.
From the progress so far, it looks like the hammer is masterfully-crafted.
Roundtime: 6 sec.

>get my oil from my bag

You get a flask of oil from inside your duffel bag.

> pour oil on hammer

You unwrap the cloth protecting your oil, and pour several drops over the diagonal-peen hammer. With gentle strokes you wipe the oil across the metal's surface until only a glossy sheen remains.
Roundtime: 24 sec.
Applying the final touches, you complete working on a bronze diagonal-peen hammer.

>analyze hammer
You analyze every minute detail of the diagonal-peen hammer and smile knowingly to yourself.
This appears to be a crafting tool and it is in pristine condition.
This reinforced hammer is used to pound heated metal into shape on an anvil.
The workmanship is of outstanding quality.
Assessing the hammer's durability, you determine it is marginally vulnerable to damage.
About 12 volume of metal was used in this item's construction.
This tool appears to be not very effective at increasing crafting speed.
You recognize this work as your own.
Roundtime: 10 sec.

There's a final check, and like all checks, it's modified by your tools. In this case, your tool is the oil, which was presumably society bought and thus lower quality.

No, or at least not yet. Presumably it will be an alchemy product, eventually. In the meantime, higher quality oils are sold at HE.

Whispers of the Muse (assuming forging is your highest crafting skill) or a forging prediction should also push your skill high enough to negate that low quality tool hit.
