Soul-forged steel

Soul-forged steel, unlike most steels, dose not use a furnace to create it but uses the energy in a persons soul and converts it to heat energy to create the steel. Although anyone can create soul-forged steel but usually only monks create it as only they have enough energy in their soul to create the heat energy required to create steel. Once a weapon or armour is created, it is treated like a god. You can only put it down if it is on a stand or sheathed but if neither of those are available then you need to lay it down as if it were as fragile as silence.
