Those who work with metals and ores, know that to produce
quality work, they fashion their works out of single pieces
of material. Using several smaller fragments often produces
items which are inherently weak, and useless. In order to acquire
these large chunks of material, they often must take several
pieces of a material and fuse them together to create one
larger piece. Once this piece is completed, normal work can
proceed. Often the proper tools are needed, since many materials
are difficult to work with in their normal states.
The true ep cost depends on the amount of material amalgamated.
Usage: use amalgamate at <material> in <workbench> 
Example: use amalgamate at iron in forge
