Remove Orb of Augmentation - Conbine it with transmutation with added effect.

By removing Augmentation Orbs and making Transmutation Orbs do the following instead would in my opinion improve economy by making them not useless to trade, simplify basic crafting AND add slightly more deterministic crafting at the same time.

Orb of Transmutation: Add a modifier to a normal item, changing the item to magic rarity. Up to two modifiers can be added. Each sub sequential use on a magic item replaces one random modifier with a new one. Can not be used on items that are not normal or magic rarity.

This way they'd have usefulness at any stage of the game and will have added value because of it. Still will not allow everyone to easily make the perfect item but just help it get started a little bit.

Lower drop rate for these orbs would also be required.

What do you think?

How is this different from using Orb of Annulment + Augment?
