Isn't it time decorations got a little attention?

First of all, cloth spikes have got to go. Leather spikes are just barely acceptable, but they could probably go too. They could either be rerolled, or else described as say fringes. "It menaces with spikes of iron. It sports fringes of pigtail."

But why stop there? It shouldn't be hard to come up with a good 20 to 30 decoration styles, then have a rule or two for each. Here's a sample to get the idea across:

Inlaid with: [base is hard][decoration is hard]
Embroidered with: [base is soft][decoration is cloth]
Wrapped in: [base is hard][decoration is soft]
Trimmed with: [decoration is soft]
Spikes of: [base is not cloth][decoration is metal or stone]
Inset with: [base is hard][decoration is gem]
Dipped in molten: [bases is stone][decoration is metal]

...and so on

Then it picks from all the styles that match.

Also get rid of "decorated with", that's just boring.

But then how will we properly menace the elves with our socks?

And it happens again, another artifact ruined (aesthetically) by cloth spikes. It's the first Adamantine artifact I ever got, and they put stupid wool spikes on it! Come on!

(It's also a low boot... but that's not so bad, at least I got a legendary armor smith out of it, and my militia commander only needs one boot these days anyway...)
