Is it possible to craft Magical/Rare/Legendary Weapons/Armors? For instance, I am crafting some Two-Handed Axes to see it's stats (I got Craft/Blacksmith +3) and I'm getting weapons for level 3, but all of them normal items.

Another doubt, my crafted item will be always the same level that I am?

You can craft some "special" items -- definitely not "trashy" -- but they always come out white. For example, the sword in the image below is 100% crafted from scratch, has pretty good stats, is actually the best weapon my character could possibly use, and even has flavour text... but officially isn't magic/rare/legendary/unique.

Also yes, your crafted item will always be the same level of you, but this is a good thing. It means the Sword of Planets and other recipes scale with you as you level, so you can build a character around always using that sword (on average you should find the material to craft Sword of Planets 2 or 3 times in a playthrough, so you just need to space them out a bit instead of crafting a new one every single level).

Thanks a lot for your dedicated answer! But now I have another doubt, maybe I didn't understand very well what you meant when you said: "...the Sword of Planets and other recipes scale with you as you level..."

So, if I craft a level 3 Leather Boots, when I get level 4 it will level up also??

No, but when you make it it's always at your level. So if you can make multiple copies of the same recipe, you can plan multiple crafted upgrades over the course of your game. With some of the recipes (ex: Large Steel Bar = two-handed axe), the ingredients are so plentiful that you'll have no problem crafting an upgrade every single level; with something like Sword of Planets it won't quite be that often, but you can make one as soon as you get the recipe together, another halfway between that and endgame, and a third one when you're level 19 or 20 (assuming average luck; with bad luck you might only be able to make the sword twice).

Regarding the "normal" weapons you can craft, remember that you can melt your weapon down in the furnace and use the same material again to "level up" your weapon along with you:

Iron Bar + Anvil = 1h Sword, Furnace + 1h Sword = Iron Bar
Steel Bar + Anvil = 1h Axe, Furnace + 1h Axe = Steel Bar
Large Iron Bar + Anvil = 2h Sword, Furnace + 2h Sword = Large Iron Bar
Large Steel Bar + Anvil = 2h Axe, Furnace + 2h Axe = Large Steel Bar

Just remember to use the grind stone wheel afterwards.
