reforge

Cast metal again

To reforge is to forge again—to heat and reshape metal that has already been worked.

The word appears most often in fantasy games and fiction, where weapons and armor are reforged to restore or improve them: The broken sword was reforged into a new blade.

Figuratively, to reforge something is to remake or reconstitute it: reforge alliances, reforge an identity.
