Smelting is the process used by metallurgists to used to extract base metals from surrounding ore. While the people of Geb are capable of such a process, the heat required, and damage done to the environment, has long discouraged any extensive attempts at smelting on the Island Nation. Since it is so much easier, for those specializing in earth based magics, to create equivalent results, by magically combining these same base elements in conjunction with others, the people of Geb have found no real reason to pursue this form of Gigan technology. This isn't to say knowledge of Gigan technology isn't sought, it is, it's just not an economic drive for those on the island. The end result is the studies of Gigan based science tend to be left to the halls of academia, and hobbyists, while the money makers in the world concentrate on swifter, easier and more viable technological solutions.
