Well, not letting you craft something you can't wield is certainly sensible.

This post prompted me to check how crafting Tenebrium weapons works. I had Bairdotr craft a level 16 Hazel Bow into a Tenebrium Bow. Woooooowwwwwwwwwwww.

The Hazel Bow's stats before crafting:
  • Piercing: 67-116


If you craft it with Tenebrium, it becomes:
  • Piercing: 67-116
  • Tenebrium: 20-35


It does not matter what your level of Tenebrium, Crafting, or Blacksmithing is, it only ever adds 20-35 Tenebrium damage. Also, the new item does NOT have a "Requires Tenebrium" attribute. That's a bug.

I have not seen any items which have Tenebrium 4 and 5 required, and that's at level 17. So Tenebrium 4 and 5 is literally a complete waste of ability points. It does nothing and does not improve the quality of Tenebrium-crafted items.

I also tested it with a metal axe (to see if that would make Blacksmithing do anything), same result.
