Can a mundane item made of a special material be salvaged or melted down to be reforged as a new item?
Specifically, we have a suit of mithral half-plate and we want to use the materials from that to make a mithral chain shirt barding for a small sized dragon.
Couldn't find a rule on it so I was curious enough to post here. If there is a rule or official ruling covering this then I'd appreciate a source so I can show it to another. Thanks!
