I interpreted the setting where secret cabals exist and mysterious materials like selenite are taken seriously as a low tech setting where controlled hardening could count as the kind of flashy but not really that superior process that the OP is asking for. Also, I thought it is worth separate answer because while the other bluing methods are for corrosion protection, it actually related to hardening. | |

But, it can be controlled by the temperature and environment you expose the metal to during tempering and by the quenching method. This is one of the methods of making blued steel referenced in other answers, but only creates a blue coating, not a solid blue metal. | |
