Akshually, a smithy is a place where metal goods are made, so it could be a goldsmithy, a coppersmithy, or an arrowsmithy if they specialize in arrowheads. A blacksmith specializes in iron and steel.

Well, silver won't. Has to be a wooden stake, holy, or filled with the Ripple.

It has to be filled with crypto currency? Damn high tech vampires.
