I'm suggesting the following services as a means to an end. Because I would ultimately like to be able to do this with any item in game with enough time, effort, and resource investment.

-Find weapon in game
-Transform metal/material into metal/material of choice
-Max lighten
-Alter into specific look/feel to suit character
-Max enchant
-Max ensorcell
-Improve forging (increase DF/AvD)
-Add custom enhancives - we'll call this the character buff slot
-Max flares/crit weighting - we'll call this the mechanical combat slot
-Add custom scripts - we'll call this the script slot (gory weapon/iasha/fluff scripts etc.)
-Add custom special ability - we'll call this random slot (insert bane/permabless/sanctify/bubble flares/haste flares here)

So, to use a weapon as an example. My ultimate weapon that I could build using this type of support system would be...

+50 enchanted perfectly forged, white ora flamberge with a custom look that has claidhmore weighting and fully unlocked Iasha scripting, it also provides +10 strength and +10 wisdom with haste flares

Services
Fusion forging - transforms a fusion weapon + inserted orbs into a normal enhancive weapon without a conflicting script
Ensorcell - same as sorcerer spell but will work on those items beyond player limits
Reforging - makes weapons into elegant/superior/perfect versions of the base
Flare forging
-potency - increases the power of a flare when it fires - this should be on a similar scale to crit/damage weighting every threshold of raw damage causing a crit and being able to guarantee crit ranks after certain thresholds. This power is offset in that where crit and damage weighting occur every swing, flares do not. Flares are also useless against creatures of the same element.
-frequency - increases frequency of a flare. Lowest being every 10 swings, highest being every swing
-elements - allows multiple flares, combination flares (cold/fire on a swing flare), and hybrid flares
Tempering - allows item to grant physical bonuses (examples include % chance to avoid ebp, cman defense bonus, cman offense bonus, general manuever defense, improved dodge, evade, block)
Skill knowledge - allows item to grant knowledge of cman/shield/armor skill

Do you also want your sword to go out and hunt for you while you rest at a Thrak table?

Only if it also orders me a pizza and a movie while I wait.
