VICTORY!

I had forgotten to add it to the permitted reactions (Thanks OwlEppicurus)

I didn't change anything else, and have successfull made 4 ebony bars and an ebony mace.

Quick question: How do I make the bars black? They're brown right now.

No problem.  That's just happened to me so many times...

Are you sure they used the ebony logs for the reaction?  When I tried using your original reagent definitions, they made ebony bars, but didn't actually use the logs.

Also, to change the color of the bars to black, change

in the entry for the metal.

what is this elf talk?

sir. I feel that your needs will be covered with the construction of more pylons

I think one woud have to find a reliable way to create a gas that generates on high quantities underground and that releases them slowly (damn temperature balancing!), or explosively as a way to kill dwarves if you hit a pocket of gas.

oyeah
wooden bars?

not only this is elfish, but *sigh* good armor if you have no metals, what about nether-capbar armor?
soo... any testing on combat effectiveness yet?

You're right. I changed the color, and I will momentarily change the reaction now that I'm free of school.

Also, would it be good to require glass or some such?

I don't see why you would suppliment a strong material with a brittler one myself.

VICTORY for real this time!

Once again, thank you OwlEppicurus. It did the trick.

Also, would it be good to require glass or some such?

I had thought that it was in the TES version, but then, I haven't played that.

Now, I shall go to the arena.

You know, I never intended any of this to be based on TES at all.  I was just looking for trees turning into metal.

Oh. okay. As to the arena, Ebon weapon results so far

Axes 5 1 v 1 fights, skilled fighter and axedwarf (if there aren't 5, they both died immediately)

Maces

Hmm.. I just realized that I had the molar mass of bismuth bronze. I just changed it to the molar mass of gold, so I should probably retest. :(

Saying that ebon has a similar crystal structure to gold, the value for molar mass should be 206.4814 grams per mole.

I don't know... using ebony for weapons seems curious to me. The only place you'd see ebony on a weapon is on the handle. I wouldn't mind seeing it as a high-value wood, since in keeping with history it should have more use as a crafting material.

Pay attention Bucket, these fools got sidetracked into The Elder Scrolls type of Ebony, which is an ore.

The current value is 196967, so what's 206.4814 in Urists? (BTW, thanks for doing the math)

Also, Ebony is a wood. Ebon is the metal I made, requiring ebony to smelt. Would
