.........Somewhat wrong. Obsidian isn't really that hot. In fact, due to it's size once it's properly formed (volcanic rocks like obsidian are at times so small the human eye can't even see them), it gets rather cold.

Obsidian couldn't be "created" because to make obsidian, you need to cool magma quickly. And to make magma, you need to submit rocks to intense pressure and temperature which humanity wasn't able to do for multiple centuries because technology wasn't that advanced yet.

And even if someone managed to do it, there's the question of how they get it to a place sufficiently exposed to the air. After all, magma is hot enough that normally just being near it without protection can be fatal.

No one "forged Obsidian" because they plain and simple couldn't do it, they did not have the technology to do the process required. All they could do is wait for the rock cycle to do it's job.
