Fire Coal
Where using fire aetherite as a heat source is impractical aethersmiths have found they can infuse the heat of the aetherite into mundane coal or charcoal to enhance its durability as well as usability. It was made as a response to fuel shortages after the sundering and the need to extend what resources that were available.
Mechanics & Inner Workings
Fire coal can burn much longer than traditional coal at a similar temperature. It appears just like a heated piece of coal that emits embers but doesn't cool to an ashy exterior like regular coal. You can blast the coal with air bolster the heat for things like forges. Most use it as is for things like cooking which is not only a common hobby but a necessity.
Manufacturing process
To make fire coal is easy with the right materials. Some sort of coal or charcoal is required as well as a piece of fire aetherite, and someone that can channel aether. One fire aetherite can infused a ton of coal with enough time and application which results in the aetherite being drained. The resulting coal has much longer an even heating and is superior to regular coal or charcoal. Also the amount that can be infused ends up extending the life of both materials.
History
Fire coal was made as a cost saving measure as well as allowing users to use their existing furnaces and ovens without needing modification. The fuel proved very popular and frugal in the long run.
