In the Swordcraft Story series, Weapon Forging Techniques are just what their name implies. After learning a Technique (or 'Tech') you get the ability to forge that weapon whenever you are inside a workshop, as long as you have the right materials for it. Available techniques are shown under "List" in the main menu for the first game or under "Techniques" in the main menu for the second and third games. However, the forging process in each game is slightly diferent.
