From another thread:
Hirsch I wrote:the "assemble your own weapon" thing would be interesting with dpeg's "Okawaru, god of the forge" idea. he could be the only god who can gift weapon parts.
EDIT: removed quote that makes no sense.
While, not familiar with the idea of a forge god, I like the concept of upgrading weapons through god's abilities as an alternative to god gifts. Instead of getting new weapons each time, one can get the ability to create an artifact from any piece of weapon/armour
These can appear in the same fashion as Vehumet's spell gifting.
*** Forge armour (grants a random armour piece, much like a nerfed god gift)
**** Forge weapon (grants a random brand + enchant weapon III scroll, can only be used on non-branded weapons)
***** Create artifact, once per game (creates and artifact from an ego or plain weapon/armour?, grants it random enchantment bonus, intrinsics and name)
