Ceramic molds, fired
This is what actually casts metal: set it on a Molten Canal (Mold Pedestal), brick (or the cobblestone kind) and open the pour to fill it, then take the casting out once it reads full and hardened. The three shapes are the plate, the double ingot and the quad rod, holding 200, 200 and 400 units respectively. It comes from firing Ceramic molds, raw in a pit or kiln; colour is left over from that firing and does not change what the mold makes. See Casting for what each shape yields and the rules for carrying a mold that is still hot or still liquid.
