A Way to Keep Epic Equipment Viable During TRs

[donfilibuster]

Crafting magic items in PnP is in a way that you can add new things to the item but you can't really remove them.
There's the items that grow with you, but having a powerful item at the low levels is risky business.
Even if it is dormant you can't hide it from detection, it would radiate a strong aura, etc.

One of the better ideas I've seen on the suggestion boards.

I'd like a small penalty imposed such as having to re-slot any gear you've used this recipe on.
