The River Blacksmith

"In a village near a river the blacksmith settled down, to provide the kingdom with magically crafted tools and weapons. Not only did he use the power of fire to make the metal glow, but he also harnessed the power of water, which was far stronger than his pure muscles. Only in winter, when the river sometimes froze over and the blacksmith had to clear the ice from the mill wheel, did his forging work stop briefly, but otherwise it was his greatest treasure and advantage."

And it is working:
