I'm going to assume this is NPP/Pos or something similar.
The reforging process allows you to combine an artifact (NOT a randart)
with a regular item. For example, you could forge Aeglos with a RoS.
When doing this, you want either higher end abilities on the
non-artifact (speed, slaying, etc) or have it be an ego item.
Here's a few examples of items I've reforged in Pos with various characters:
c) The Ring of Vandil (+14,+12) (+4)
It increases your strength and constitution by 4. It
provides immunity to cold. It provides resistance to
lightning, light, dark, nether, and life draining. It cannot
be harmed by the elements.
i) The Amulet of Mirim (+3)
It increases all your stats by 3. It increases your speed by
3. It provides resistance to acid, lightning, fire, cold,
light, dark, blindness, confusion, and nexus. It sustains
your wisdom and charisma. It cannot be harmed by the
elements. It might have hidden powers.
m) The Brass Lantern 'Esgaereb' (+3)
It increases your speed by 3. It provides resistance to
nether and life draining. It lights the dungeon around you.
It cannot be harmed by the elements.
(yes, you can reforge lanterns and torches <g>)
a) The Broad Sword of Ephrim (4d5) (+8,+17) (+4) {@w0}
It increases your infravision, speed, and attack speed by 4.
It slays animals, orcs, trolls, giants, and all evil creatures.
It cannot be harmed by the elements. It gives you 9 attacks
per turn.
(9 attacks is always good)
a) The Executioner's Sword of Gonul (6d5) (+19,+9) (+4) {@w0}
It increases your strength, intelligence, dexterity, and
charisma by 4. It increases your searching by 4. It slays
orcs and all evil creatures, and it is especially deadly
against demons. It is branded with electricity, fire, frost,
and poison. It provides resistance to acid, lightning, cold,
light, and nexus. It sustains your wisdom. It grants you
the ability to see invisible things. It cannot be harmed by
the elements. It gives you 5 attacks per turn.
(of course, so is a quadruple brand!)
n) The White Dragon Scale Mail of Mondorond (-2) [30,+24] (+4)
It increases your wisdom and constitution by 4. It provides
immunity to acid and cold. It provides resistance to light,
dark, and blindness. It sustains your wisdom. It allows you
to levitate. It grants you immunity to paralysis. It
activates for large frost ball (200) every 20+d20 turns. It
cannot be harmed by the elements.
The higher level the artifact you are using, the higher the price to
reforge. It also scales up with clvl, so you need to constantly forage
for ego items to sell. When I made Ephrim, for example, I used Aule as
the artifact.. It cost me 2.2M in gold to reforge.
