reforging
Smithing something anew
Reforging is the process of forging something again—melting down or reshaping metal to create something new from existing material.
A blacksmith might reforge a broken sword into a dagger.
The term extends to figurative renewal: The treaty represented a reforging of the old alliance.
In video games, reforging typically means modifying a weapon's stats or properties.
