Give Normal/Magic items a purpose with Rune of Exaltation, and higher FP

Rune of Exaltation: Adds a random number of Tier 6 or Tier 7 affixes to empty slot(s) on an item. Adds to one empty slot at minimum, with a decreasing chance of adding more.

Enables crafting items up from Normal → Magic → Rare → Exalted, or anywhere along that track, or straight to Exalted.

It goes without saying but odds of T6/T7 should be weighted accordingly; more than 1x exalted affix should be weighted accordingly; and the rune itself’s drop rate should be balanced to its power level.

Raise the floor (and ceiling) of Forging Potential on Normal/Magic items to accomodate crafting with this Rune.

I like this idea… but they should not raise the crafting potential of Normal/Magic items… they should make Rune of Exaltation add crafting potential instead of removing it. It’s a one-time operation, because it wont be usable on the resultant exalted item, so this should not be a problem.
