Thanks for these Redcoat, I will check them out.I think that at 7th level, the dwarf character could use a Word of Command to get a magical success with smith's tools, which would allow the Hand-craft skill to give a weapon a magical reward. The Rune-craft would also be able to place a bane on the weapon without needing magical success. I think the scholar's Words of Command are the only way we mere mortals can get a magical success using abilities which is needed for Hand-craft to create a magic weapon. An Elf would know for sure.
Edit - Dwarves can take the Broken Spells virtue which allows magical success with tools - so you would not need a word of command
