OK, question....
If you make something with a runic hammer, and valorite, it can't be imbued. This has been stated by Draconi on more then one occasion...You CAN make something from Iron, then imbue it, then try to enhance with valorite (with the risk of breaking it)
but......
Can you Use a runic hammer, and Valorite....then UNRAVEL the properties you created so you can imbue them on something else? If this is the case then color ingots, and runic hammers are still going to be important I think..
Let me know if I am wrong, or if my thinking is messed up, as I am still trying to figure out all the unravel/imbue stuff...I didnt make the Beta cut, so am left to speculation and what I can find on the boards.
