My mod in my sig actually creates an alloy of cobalt and copper, that is near-equivalent to steel. Only cobalds have the reaction, currently, but you could just find it in their entity file and move it to the dwarves' file.

Other than that, I love it for it's color. Seeing as how cobalt itself makes a great blunt material, perhaps I should ensure that such remains true for my mod...

It's really a nice blue, perfect for the basic spriting that can be done with DF wall/floor tiles.

*not a blatant cheat because it does contain 10% iron, smelting cobaltite yields oxides of both, which can be reduced using carbon, but IRL smelting cobaltite also produces toxic arsenic gas
Just to note, you can mod in a metal that evaporates at room temperature, and is a 100% ore of cobaltite.  This will cause nauxious fumes to explode from the smelter when it's done.

I'd personally make it non-fatal but long lasting syndrome.  You can somewhat safely perform it, but not very quickly lest you lose lives.

So you basically want to create dwarven asbestos poisoning.

Hey, if dwarves had asbestos they'd be sleeping in the stuff.  You know I'm right.

This is a exceptionally prepared asbestos roast. The ingredients are finely minced asbestos, masterfully minced asbestos, finely mined asbestos, and masterfully minced cat tallow.

I think it would be pretty to have deep blue cobalt glass:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobalt_glass like a lot of old bottles have.
