[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 4332991, member: 996"] Yes, it is perfectly reasonable to impose such requirements, use them as plot hooks, or to 'control' the sorts of items PCs can make. In general, you'll still want to go with the spirit of the game, and let players get the items on thier 'wish list,' - all you're doing is leveraging that list for plot hooks. The cost of magic items is now based only on thier level. If one level 6 item is a rock, and the other is a diamond, they both still have the same value - and 'smelting them down' gets you residuum. I suppose if you wanted a magical-physics answer to the idea, you'd just say that 'destroying' the item by melting it down breaks the enchantement, and it's melted remains return to thier original size. The only issue I can think of would be if you had a 'bullying' player who insisted on re-morphing whatever the best magic item you'd found so far was to a form that suited his character. [/QUOTE]
