Add options for remelting rough, soft, dull, or sharp blades and heads.
Useful if you're trying to achieve items of a certain quality but fail
to maintain that quality: you can remelt the iron and start again or
turn it into a pot or something.

Love the idea; give me a bit of time to playtest the change and see what I think.

I think there's kind of an exploit where you can create soft small knife blades, which require 0.5 lbs of wrought iron, and remelt them into 1 lb of wrought iron. But doing so takes longer and more charcoal and effort than just producing another 0.5 lb of wrought iron from bog iron, and there's currently no limit to how much bog iron you can dig up.

Other than that, I think it's pretty balanced. I added it just because it was frustrating to have all those failed blade attempts lying around - if I wasn't compulsive, I could just Discard them and start with fresh bog iron and probably be in a better place, in terms of time and effort.
