You totally can. Just because medieval blacksmiths could not melt iron, doesn't mean it's not a valid way to make weapons out of fantasy metals.its not a great sword at all
i made a mold
well no shit the sword was ass you cant pour a god damn sword
Oh yeah sure you can pour a sword like chinese plastic but the grain is gonna be shit unless you work the entire thing over and at that point you might as well just form it from a barYou totally can.

Of course, as a dwarven blacksmith, I'm sure she knew of many ways to improve on that. Like tempering, and sharpening and adding various additions. Just not the right way to do it with a sword made of jewelry-grade metal that is not normally used for weapons.
Working swords with a hammer is a way to deal with impurities caused by bad metallurgy. The correct crystal structure is obtained by tempering.Oh yeah sure you can pour a sword like chinese plastic but the grain is gonna be shit unless you work the entire thing over and at that point you might as well just form it from a bar
Also she said that the sword was supposedly finished the second it was popped out of the mold and thats just silly
