As far as the original topic, I don't think I would allow a magic item's nature to be altered so casually. "I drop it off and pay XYZ gold to get it's alignment changed. I'll pick it up in a week." Yuk. In my world, there are very few, if any, "easy" magic items. No +1 weapons, for example. Items have stories -- histories. They have COSTS. The cost of wielding a powerful item is significant, so there's a tradeoff -- are you willing to pay the cost to wield it? For some, the compatibility between wielder and item is straightforward, and for others, not so much. If you have a werewolf that wants to wield a silver weapon, something's gotta give. Either you're not going to be a werewolf, they item isn't going to have the benefits of being silver, or you're going to get hurt every time you wield it. I guess I'm in the camp of "You can't always get what you want. The end." <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
