You need magma. Then just build the magma forge over it. I prefer coal myself, I like to have legendary wood burners running around.

Also, to avoid many a future tragedy, follow this simple rule:

If at any point in time, there is an opportunity for something/one to fuck you over, expect it to. I cannot tell you how many times my forts have been screwed over by an event that I didn't pay attention to, simply because of how unlikely it seemed it would occur.

Maybe Murphy's Law is even super effective when playing DF

This morning I found myself looking at the numberplates of the cars on my drive in to work and seeing them as tileset characters in ASCII... a silver Renault I was behind had an interesting scene of a Human wrestling a Minotaur near a bin.

Also, remember to use the Elves' generous offerings and sacrifices to appease the clowns.

magma forge is basically a foge built over at least one tile that has, below it, at least 4/7 filling of magma. It needs to be made from magma-save material: some stone types and metal.

check the wiki, it really helps. I've been playing for a while now and still keep it around for quick reference

Keep in mind that glass and nether-cap are also magma-safe, in case you need something magma-safe in an emergency

There's no good reason to not have the DF Wiki open somewhere at all times really. I bet even the really experienced players keep it handy. It's full of everything you could possibly need to know.

It's also handy if you forget if a rock you find is useful for anything besides... well, stuff anyway.
