Version 0.33: This article is up to date for the latest stable release of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.

Forgecraft is the art of shaping tangible objects out of magic. Forgecraft spells can construct a wide array of mechanical creatures that will fight alongside the caster, as well as create traps and barricades and even turn the physical resilience of one's armour into a weapon.

The general theme of Forgecraft is "encouraging the player to fight close to their constructs to get the most benefit", e.g., Launch Clockwork Bee can be repaired by attempting to move into its tile, while spells like Alistair's Walking Alembic and Platinum Paragon only provide buffs to a player within their radius.

Being skilled in Forgecraft increases the success rate and spell power of spells in this school. Many spells belong to a combination of several schools, in which case spellcasting success and power will depend on the average skill in these schools.
