Preffixes cannot be changed+scour = back to magic item

so... i was crafting a claw, alt spammed 169% phys dmg (t2) with life gain on hit, regaled maximun mana yolo annuled the mana and put preffixes cannot be changed there, scoured it and i tought it will be 1 prefix rare only with the % phys on it but it went magic again, first time this happens to me, is that normal or a bug?

Normal. Many years after meta mods this has to be the #1 thing people fuck up still.

xde

Damn i used to craft when masters were released, started again and this happens hahah lesson learned :P

Normal. The item has to have two prefixes for prefixes can not be changed to not turn it back in to a magic item.
I did the same thing with this

Luckily yolo Anull saved it.

Like most people have said, it's normal. Scours will try to bring the item down to the lowest possible rarity they can, so when the result is an item with 1 mod it will become magic, as that's the lowest rarity that can have 1 mod.

If you want to get a 1 mod rare item, you can meta craft and scour an item with 2 prefixes or suffixes, and annul the item in a 50/50. If you don't want to go for the 50/50 chance, you can take your item and add "can have multiple crafted mods" to it. Then, craft "prefixes cannot be changed" and a random prefix. When you scour the item, the result will be a 2 mod rare with the prefix you had originally and the dummy crafted prefix. Remove the crafted mod and you get a 1 mod rare. It costs 4 exalts in total, plus another 2 if you want to multimod the item.
