Shattered Kingdoms

The idea is pretty simple, mostly for show, and might be a feature that would attract new players to and retired players back to the game.

Some form (or multiple forms with their own benefits/drawbacks) of way a character can customize the appearance of their gear. I know of at least one option to customize weapons in Zhenshi, but why not open this up to every piece of gear with no lore attached to it?

Here are some of my thoughts:

-Any/all modifications count as an enchantment.
-Sorcerers can polymorph, I'd give them the highest and most complex ability to morph gear and make it a GM level spell.
-Priests would be able to imbue their Lord's sign on an armor/weapon/item attaching "of the [religious term]" to it and alter the items aura to the God's aura.
-Shaman could decorate gear with spirit dolls, all effects of the doll would apply, including the zapping.
-Scouts could decorate armor with animal skins attaching "decorated in [skin name] skin." to it and changing the item's material to that of the skin (if better).
-Warlocks could change an item's type to an elemental one.
-Rogues could add a tiny-sized named hidden compartment.
...

More ideas for other classes would be appreciated! Only thing I would stand by (open to debate) is the first thought: any/all modifications count as an enchantment!

I also would like to add that everything a player can do in regards to altering gear should be available to be done at cost by NPCs. That would also open up the opportunity to expand cities with a whole bunch of new shops!

EDIT: In retrospect, not so simple, has tactical/RP advantages, and would just be fun!

I'm super all about every idea like this. It takes me back to being 13 and sitting in school writing up descriptions for objects I wanted to make on another MUD that allowed such things instead of doing my homework. It's no wonder I was so popular.
