Gunnar breathes the soul of Harun the Dragon into a pound of metal. Harun then enlarges and forges the metal until it takes his original form: a horse-sized dragon with scales the same color as the metal used. Harun can hold the form for about 2 hours until the metal is burnt away.
If he dies, it takes a few weeks for him to return to power.
Harun was once one of the greatest dragons in all of Scandinavia, unique in his ability to shape any metal he wanted, not just a specific one. These times are long gone and he has to hope his chosen human vessel can help him return to former glory.
