We use a system where characters can customize items any way they want by applying different prefixes and trailers either taught at their guilds or which they design themselves. Player designs are submitted and screened by gamemasters through an automated process where designs are either accepted and added to a character's repertoire or rejected with a reason why.

A character who knows a lot of alters can create items with a nearly endless range of appearances, and with the ability to do custom designs, one of a kind items are also possible: a stately black steel dagger with an adamantine handle wrapped in scarlet cord.

The one thing I don't like about the way our stuff works is that itt doesn't require the actual materials that appear in item descriptions. I'm torn over the desire to keep things fun and flexible vs. keeping it immaculately realistic.
