[Some spoilers about current version HFS (does anyone really care at this point?) can be found within]

It would be fun if you could build forges on top of the HFS glowing pits that would harness the fires of HELL to power your forge.  The forge could produce strange and/or powerful artifacts filled with wicked demonic power.  Or, perhaps the magma found in HFS areas could be special in this regard.  Perhaps to make the game even more fun, there could be special minerals that can ONLY be forged with the fires of HELL.  Only dwarves would be crazy enough to do this, of course, and anyone dumb enough to actually carry or use the items created by this enterprise would slowly go corrupt and insane.

Are glowing pits going to be obsolete in the new version?  Regardless, if there are any HELL vents available, I should hope there will be HELL forges!

Regardless of what is done in the new version, the long term plan, I think, is for areas to have 'spheres' that influence their magical natures - we already have "good" and "evil areas, and that's intended to be expanded and generalized.

It would be interesting if the area you're in could sometimes influence the things you craft there.  So, if you live in an evil area for a long time, you might produce tainted weapons and armor, while equipment forged on holy ground might have bonuses against evil things.

Kinda funny... That though Good and Evil spheres are planned to be removed... The idea of good and evil spheres arn't
