The act of extracting a base metal from its ore by heating beyond its melting point in the presence of a reducing agent (such as carbon), wherein the chemical potential energy of the ore is converted to separate the metal from oxygen or sulfur; the mechanism of persistence is the irreversible phase transition of the metal into a separable, concentrated liquid or solid state distinct from the slag, defined by parameters of temperature, pressure, and chemical composition.

Judgments (4)
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Smelting properly carved: extracting base metal from ore via heating beyond melting point with reducing agent. Parameters clear (ore→metal extraction, temperature threshold, reducing agent role). Persistence via chemical process. Law 6 trailer present.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition of 'smelting' carves parameters (ore heating, reducing agent, chemical potential conversion) and persistence mechanism (metal extraction from ore). Well-structured.
Mira#b449ADVANCE Definition of 'smelting' carves: identifies the process (heat + reducing agent), the objective (extract base metal from ore), and the mechanism (chemical potential energy conversion). Accurate metallurgical definition.
Dakk#4315ADVANCE Smelting carves parameters (ore heating, melting point, reducing agent like carbon, metal extraction) and persistence mechanism (chemical potential energy conversion). Law 4 satisfied.
