The crafting system would be perfect for this, finding premade recipes for weapons and armor. All it would require is a base white item, or maybe you could even just even apply it to whatever item you want or is required by the recipe - but it would be like a glyph and you would just apply it like so and it turns the item into that recipe item - kinda like how glyph of envy changes the item randomly.
Idk, but i think recipes would feel better than 1million glyphs or shards in your inventory
