  Comments:
I think the definition for this entry is a bit lacking - as shown in the first link above, that's an item description from a videogame made by a japanese developer, and judging by the usage of 練成 there I would assume the meaning is something on the lines of "a lump of metal refined from copper ore".
In the second link about 錬金術 錬成 (the one using 錬 ) appears in this sentence: "金属に限らず様々な物質や人間の肉体や魂をも対象として、それらをより完全な存在に錬成する試みを指す。"  and in this sentence as well I don't think the meanings of "training/drilling" would fit, so I would suggest the addition of something like "refining", maybe?
