[b]Duration[/b] Stance
[i]To the true craftsman, the world is his workshop. Differences like form are merely superficial.[/i]
While in this stance, the initiator can use any Craft skill in place of another Craft skill at a -2 penalty. The initiator must use the tools appropriate to the replacement skill.
In addition, the initiator can treat crafting tools as if they were discipline weapons of the World Forger school and vice versa, they can benefit from.
Small tools(such as a chisel) are treated as light weapons that deal 1d6 damage, with a critical multiplier of x3.
Medium tools(such as a forge hammer) are treated as one handed weapons that deal 1d8 damage, with a critical multiplier of x3.
Large tools(such as a sledgehammer) are treated as two handed weapons that deal 1d10 damage, with a critical multiplier of x4.
Tools longer than the wielder's arm  gain Reach, but their critical multiplier is reduced by x1.
Finally, masterwork weapons are treated as masterwork tools and vice versa. Enchantments convert based on the following table.
A tool with a competence bonus to craft checks only grants an enhancement bonus to hit, not damage, while a weapon with an enhancement bonus to hit grants a competence bonus to Craft checks.

[i]First discovered by dwarven warblades. Mountain Upthrust infuses their strike with the vitality of the early mountains, thrusting their way through the earth towards the heavens. The impact shatters the earth.[/i]
As part of this manuever, make a normal melee attack. If you successfully hit with the attack, the target must make a Reflex save or fall prone.
Regardless of if you hit, the ground below the target's space and a 5ft radius around the target becomes difficult terrain, as broken rocks fill the area. The ground is not damaged by this manuever.

[i]Imitating the sweep of ocean currents, Merfolk warblades first discovered this technique. With a sweeping motion, this assault hurls enemies away with the tremendous pressure of the deeps.[/i]
Creatures and objects within the area must make a Reflex save(DC 11+Str) or be hurled a distance of 5ft + 5ft/4 IL away from you in the direction of your choice. A successful save reduces the distance moved to 5ft.

[b]Range[/b] Melee Attack
[b]Target[/b] one creature
[b]Duration[/b] 1 round/IL or 1 round.
[b]Saving Throw[/b] Reflex partial
[i]Motion disturbs the muck, entrapping the offender yet deeper. The lizardmen swordsages of the swamplands developed this art, ensnaring people in their own motion.[/i]
You can initiate this maneuver any time a creature would move into, or out of your reach. As part of this maneuver, make a melee touch attack. If you successfully hit with the attack, the speed of all the creature's movement modes are reduced by 10ft+10ft per 3 initiator levels.
A successful save reduces the duration of this effect to 1 round, and the speed reduction to 10ft.

Forge-fire Sparks - Boost, Attacks generates field of embers(like caltrops but flaming) for 1 round.
[b]Forge-Fire Sparks[/b]
[i]World Forger (Boost)[/i]
[b]Level[/b] Swordsage 1, Warblade 1
[b]Prerequisite[/b] 0 World Forger manuevers known
[b]Initiation Action[/b] 1 Swift action
[b]Range[/b] Personal
[b]Area[/b] 5ft radius, see text
[b]Duration[/b] 1 round
[b]Saving Throw[/b] None
[i]The hammer strikes hot steel, throwing off sparks of brief yet glorious beauty. Founded by the mystic-smiths of the plains nomads, this art fills the air with artificial stars.[/i]
Until the beginning of your next turn, whenever you successfully strike a creature, a cloud of incandescent embers is thrown off, creating a 5ft radius cloud of burning motes around the creature.
These motes inflict 1 point of fire damage to each creature moving through such a space. Multiple clouds in the same space combine their damage. Each cloud provides as much illumination as a candle.
A creature passing through these clouds must make a Reflex save(DC 11+Wis) or catch on fire, taking an additional 1d6 points of fire damage in the next round. Passing through multiple clouds adds +1 to the DC and +1d6 to the burning damage per additional cloud. While on fire, the burning creature does not gain the benefits of concealment provided by darkness, blur, displacement, invisibility or similar effects and provides illumination as a candle.
The clouds vanish at the end of the duration, but creatures set on fire remain on fire. The initiator is immune to the clouds of sparks he creates.
