reforged
Melted and reshaped
Reforged is the past tense and past participle of reforge, meaning to forge again—to heat and reshape metal that has already been worked, typically to repair, strengthen, or transform it into something new.
The term appears frequently in fantasy contexts where legendary weapons are reforged to restore their power: The shattered blade was reforged by the elves.
Figuratively, reforged describes anything fundamentally remade or renewed after being broken or diminished: Their alliance was reforged after years of conflict.
