Special Runics

What about the idea of having some special runics that allow you to pick the types of properties you want on an item. For example, I'm looking to create a special suit of leather armor, and I'm looking for a specific set of item properties.
Naturally it would be a hard to get runic, and it would cost more resources to use. But it would save endless hours of trying to make a single piece of armor from random runics.
The basic idea would be having a gump that would list all applicable properties for a given piece of armor/weapon. Then it would allow you to select the properties you wanted, up to the max number of properties allowed. Each additional selection would cost more resources. Then while the items is being created the intensity of each property would be randomly generated. Perhaps even using more resources for high levels of intensity.
Just another random idea, what do you guys think?
