Idea for a new Smith skill

[Doogler]

In real life you could consider me to be an enviromentalist. This carries over to minecraft making it hard for me to make things like booster rails because I don't like making items knowing I'll never get the mats back.

My suggestion is to give smiths the ability to take items apart and get the original mats out of them. For example, a smith takes apart a diamond sword and gets 2 diamonds and a stick. I understand this wont work for every item such as boosters because they were made in bundles. This is just an idea I had and just wanted to share it. Please share your thoughts and ideas.

*smith takes diamond sword that is nearly broken*
*dismantles*
*Remakes getting the crafting xp*
*full durability. Free repair*

Also could sit crafting/uncrafting for xp. If it had a mana cost / material requirement it might be ok but I can't see too much use for it.

It should really be an Alchemist skill, like a disenchant kind of thing

Maybe dismantling it could cost some of the material (i.e. taking apart diamond sword yields 1 diamond + 1 stick).

@toadsworth29 It shouldn't cost any materials to dismantle. I think that the Smith should have to repair it first in order to dismantle it and use the materials and etc.

We will have a skill called "Scrap" - or something that will allow for regaining some of the materials from armor/weps.
