An alternate solution to VMA tokens

If there was a chance to recover an item's enchantment when deconstructing.

Generally speaking, this would work for all items... you'd also be able to recover health/magic/stam glyphs from deconstructing armor., etc.

The enchantment would have the same 'bound' status as the item you were deconstructing.

There are 2 ways to do this:
1. For VMA the 'special' enchantment would be what you'd receive. (e.g. targets affect with WoE take additional damage); the additional spell damage would not be included.
This would allow you to enchant a set piece (e.g. moondancer staff), so you could run this enchantment and take a 5-piece bonus

2. Both enchantments would remain (e.g. extra WoE damage and spell damage), but applying the enchantment destroys the set it belongs to

idk

we will have tokens before either of those ideas.

Besides adding rng to reduce rng and have something else to complain about it becomes much more work to add than a token system.

This is actually a stellar idea, #2 specifically! @ZOS_RichLambert this would be a great way to keep crafting relevant and give an additional incentive to do vMA!

Edit: if ZOS did add this feature it would work great for vDSA master weapons as well.
