Dwarf-Craft Looks A Lot Like Armani

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is housed at Site P4. A thaumatic containment sigil is inscribed on the exterior of the walls surrounding SCP-XXXX and must be checked monthly for any damage. SCP-XXXX-1 is to be provided with a standard humanoid containment cell, and may receive rewards for its cooperation from a pre-approved list of foodstuffs and recreational supplies. Personnel selected to interact with SCP-XXXX-1 for testing must be fluent in at least one Scandinavian language. SCP-XXXX-1 is not to be provided flammable materials unless approved as part of testing. See Addendum 1

Description: SCP-XXXX is a smithy and workshop located near the town of [REDACTED], in Norway. SCP-XXXX was discovered by [discovery story pending new ideas; volcano idea?].

SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties do not manifest unless SCP-XXXX-1 is present and in the process of using SCP-XXXX. While under use by SCP-XXXX-1, SCP-XXXX is capable of producing anomalous objects from a combination of anomalous and non-anomalous components (See Testing Log).

SCP-XXXX-1 is a sapient humanoid visually consistent with a male human dwarf of advanced age. SCP-XXXX-1 is capable of producing sparks and small flames at will from its mouth, and has displayed almost total resistance to high temperatures¹. SCP-XXXX-1 displays comprehension of all forms of communication derived from Proto-Germanic². SCP-XXXX-1 has expressed willingness to provide its services to the Foundation.

SCP-XXXX-1 is capable of creating any requested object as long as it meets the following criteria:

1. Item is not more mechanically complex than a steam engine. (needs reworking)
2. Item contains at least one metal component³
3. Item displays at least one anomalous property upon completion
4. Item may be used in its regular function by a single individual (look for alternate wording)
5. Item's finished size is no larger than the opening of SCP-XXXX's forge⁴

Objects created by SCP-XXXX-1 are universally of the highest quality, but often display additional anomalous properties beyond the wording of the request but within the scope of the object's function. See Testing Log for further details. Demands for particular materials by SCP-XXXX-1 are to be forwarded to Senior Researcher Torgersten for approval.

Addendum 1: Upon initial containment, SCP-XXXX-1 displayed no anomalous properties while separate from SCP-XXXX. Security footage of ██/██/2019 shows SCP-XXXX-1 pacing its cell for ~10 minutes and mumbling to itself. At 14:26, SCP-XXXX-1 proceeded to bend the metal frame of its cot into a makeshift brazier, smash all wooden furniture present into pieces small enough to fit into said brazier, and create sparks from its mouth to light them on fire. By the time security personnel arrived on-scene it had begun forging one of the legs of its cot into a blade with its bare hands. When ordered to cease by security SCP-XXXX-1 complied immediately, citing "sheer [expletive] boredom" as its motivation for the destruction of its cell furnishings. Containment procedures have been updated accordingly.

2. A theoretical reconstruction of the Germanic branch of Proto-Indo-European. Includes modern-day Germanic and Scandinavian language families, although SCP-XXXX-1's understanding of English is noticeably less refined.

3. SCP-XXXX-1 has claimed it is capable of creating anomalous objects without metal components but "simply lacks the tools to do so"

4. (look up various potential sizes for footnote, consider placing size on the list and putting reasoning in footnote?)
