I don't think anything is your future when you're all piles of ash.
To me, artificing is akin to forging, and forging is a useful byprocess of smelting, and smelting is a perfect tool for disguising stolen metallic goods. And also kind of broken, since I can, like, triple the value of a silver jug just by melting it.
Also making lockpicks out of pans. And people say a thief can't be self-sufficient...
