Jul 3, 2018 at 15:51 comment added ArtificialSoul @Renan, yes that is a huge problem anyway. There is a reason why we don't have mammals this tiny and no insects human-sized. But in regards of the thermodynamics i am not that sure. They are not entirely different, but i think that the ratio between convection and radiation are different. (radiation staying the same if all objects are proportionally shrinked, but convection is probably different if you have extreme temperature falls on a very small scale.)

Jul 3, 2018 at 15:18 comment added ArtificialSoul I think it would be incredibly difficult for something like smithing to work when you have to take a disproportionately large distance from something 1000°C hot or hotter. I think the thermodynamics are very different on a scale that small. As an experiment you could make some tiny piece of iron 1000°C hot and place it 5cm next to an ant and see if the heat in that proximity kills the ant - i think it might, but i wouldn't bet on it. I just had one lecture of thermodynamics in my life and i am not that proficient on it.
