I know it's only a fantasy game, but I like when cards make sense. This is a forge so I understand you have to sacrifice your weapon and make the next weapon better. Understandable. But why creatures gain the effect as well? They carry the weapons? Do you expect photon to carry improved titan? :P

How to make this card better in terms of feasibility and also thematically? Only weapons gain effects, but drop cost to like 3 :earth or even 2, and activation cost to  1 :fire.

But that's only my opinion.
I was thinking that the forge was basically used to melt down the current weapon and then use it to either enhance a new weapon or to create / improve the attack of a creature E.g. like adding nice steel tips to a horned frog's horns, or maybe some kind of parabolic emitter to enhance a photon ;)
I can see why it might be a little easier to believe if it only gets used to enhance weapons. That is actually what I was originally going to do, but I was worried it might be to narrow in its uses that way (making it UP / situational)... Do you think that it would it still be versatile enough even if it can only affect weapons but not creatures?

I think with this cost and with the fact you need two types of quanta, it's not versatile enough right now. With low cost it would be good even if applied only to weapons. Well, to be honest, I would consider not sacrificing your weapon at all, but giving the currect weapon (only in a slot) a small buff in attack.

Okay, I've dropped the casting costs down to 3 for unupped and 4 for upped. I also reduced the upped version's activiation cost to one :fire instead of 2 :fire .

Is this good or does it need to be lowered further?

Also, I put up a poll on whether or not it the buff should be able to affect both creatures and weapons or just weapons.
Whether the glass is half full or half empty is a moot point. It is always filled to the brim. It is only a matter of by what. The real question is: What fills you?
If your zombie plan is
kill -9 `ps l | awk '{print $2" "$3" "$9}' | grep "Z" | awk '{printf("%s ",$2)}'`
