SProtect and failure
- A failed manual attempt below +3 preserves the item.
- A failed manual attempt at +3 or higher destroys the item unless an active SProtect buff protects it.
- SProtect is optional for manual upgrading, prevents destruction, and is consumed on any protected attempt.
- Each completed roll consumes one Sunstone, including failure.
- Instant Upgrade requires SProtect and consumes one SProtect plus one Sunstone per completed roll. It stops when protection is missing.
- Historical Smelting success boosters do not raise these Normal upgrade percentages.
