Iron isn't a, as Wayland calls it, singing metal so your theory is kind of off by saying that the normal smelting process removes the natural magic from the metal. The problem is iron is "cold" and Wayland is switching the state of the metal from "cold" to "hot" too fast therefore causing "thermal shock" which makes the metal break.
Which would mean we would need to put the magic in it slowly. Or smelt the iron first with magic before forging it into steel.
I suggested that Wayland slowly infuses the metal with elemental magic throughout the entire forging process a few post back. It also might be helpful if an orc smith oversees Wayland while trying to reforge Truesteel to see if his end product is getting closer or farther away from the real deal and to offer insight on what he might be doing wrong.

Rapid, uneven, expansion due to heat. Probably need to start pouring magic into it gradually or start with enchanted materials.
Alexstrasza's Rage
A small character piece. Evillevi wrote something for Alexstrasza that didn't quite fit, so I figured I would do this to clarify a bit.
----
I am Alexstrasza the Life-Binder. I am the queen of all dragons, and the warden of life itself. I was there when your people came into being, and watched as they grew. I have seen nations rise and fall, and witnesed the birth of countless things. For me, all life is precious. All life sacred.
I do not hate these Orcs for imprisoning me. I rage against my chains, and the fate my children will share. I despair that these tomentors have become so vile and twisted that they do not flinch from this death. But I do not hate.
Should I be free, they will die. And I will mourn them as I mourn all life.
For that is what I am. The guardian of life. Just as my siblings have their own domains, I have mine.
Nozdormu and his time. Winding through the ages forward and backward. Knowing his doom, and moving towards it without flinching. My beloved brother and master of fate and destiny. Guardian against those that would undo everything.
Ysera. My sister. She guards the Dreams of all. Wanders through their lives at rest, and sees the world of savage green. Under her the druids have thrived and grown. Under her, nature itself thrives.
Dear mad Malygos who has abandoned his charge. Shattered by his loss, he has dwelt for ages in seclusion and despair. I mourn for him, even as I sympathize.
And the last one, whom I will not speak of. The one who aided these orcs to do this torture.
You ask how you can free me? You cannot. Not with your power. I am bound by my own magic twisted against me. By a piece of my soul in that accursed item.
Perhaps were you a great warrior you could destroy the ones maintaining it. Perhaps a mage might be able to disrupt it. Though the power of that weapon makes it such that nothing mortal can match the weilder, it could be possible.
I am not a mage little mortal. I am a guardian of life. My brother Malygos could regale you with thousands of things about magic were he here. Hah. Where he here, he would be bound just as tightly though.
That weapon was made a long time ago. Turned against us. It is our own power and soul. The only thing that would truly free us would be shattering that thing. And nothing mortal is capable of that.
So leave me to my agony. My children's blood will be coating the floor soon enough. I know what they are planning, and only fury or despair are my options.
Death would be preferable to me.
So leave.
And do not return Mortal.
Your agony is your own. I love you as my duty and nature demands.
But here and now, my heart is broken, and my will gone.
All that's left is Rage.

You underestimate us.
You underestimate us greatly.
We must free her, not just because it's right, but to show her that we can.
We could make such a thing, but it wouldn't work.

Technically or we need to do is to turn it off.
I mean at the worst case scenario we can attempt to use a fate point to overhear how they used it in the first place
We really need to teach her not to underestimate the man with the hammer.
But yea, we actually can't use anything from the other aspects to break it. That's part of what makes the Demon Soul so sinister. It makes it so the other 4 good aspects can't harm it. Because their own power is being used to protect it.
Which is why in the original timeline. They needed Deathwing's scale. Because he is the only aspect that can destroy it since he didn't put his power in it.

Could we use anything of the Black Dragonflight, since anything of the other Dragonflights are utterly useless against it? Or does it need to be Deathwings?
I actually don't know. Black Dragons are kind of going extinct though. Which was why Deathwing came to Grim Batol to abduct Alexstraza's eggs in the first place.
There's also the fact that, well. Demon Soul is Ridiculously powerful. So it might need an Aspect's power to destroy it.
It's up to lost though.
Edit: On the other hand, we might be able to use a Black Dragonflight thing, and then boost up it's magical potency using something else.

Wouldn't making something that purify's fel magic destroy it since at it's base it's fel magic?
The Demon Soul actually isn't a Fel Object. If anything it might be Old God Magic mixed in with the magic of the other 4 Aspects. Made from some of the most expensive goblin metals and other stuff.
It could be thought of akin to something like the World Tree actually.

What if we corrupt it?
Hear me out.
Humanity are the descendants of Vrykul, who in turn are descended from robots corrupted with the Curse of Flesh by the Old Ones.
That means that we carry inside us a fragment of power from the Old Ones.
And that power has the ability to turn metal and mineral into living flesh.
So what if we manage to push our own corruption into the Demon Soul?
It would not destroy it. Nor would it even disrupt it's magical bindings.
But it would do something incredible.
It would make the Demon Soul into something organic.
It would make it into something we can kill.
Where once a magic ritual with nigh unattainable regents would be required, now a dagger can do the same.
Because once it bleeds.
It can die.

I have only one question.
Who's your supplier, cause clearly you are smoking some damn good weed and I want some.
You want to turn the Demon Soul, one of the most powerful artifacts in Azeroth, into a living creature....

That's the best part.
It wouldn't have a brain.
The corruption seems to make organic structures from preexisting mechanics or physical structures.
So it would likely turn it into a heart or small mass of flesh.
It'd basically become a squishy version of what it already was.
Actually it was made from the soul of a demon

Ssssssoooooooooooooo not within the possible bounds of this quest. Also just a bad idea in general.
You're so optimistic, it's adorable.
Can I live in your world?
Because an artifact of god-like power given life totally has to follow the rules of biology.

It's made from the souls of every kind of demon. Deathwing drained eredar, nathrezim, infernal, doomguard, imp, succubi...literally every single type of demon's soul is in that thing.
Shit is not something you'd want to make into a living creature. Especially since the most powerful confluences of magic on Azeroth (the planet) right now are, in order:
- The Well of Eternity
- The Demon Soul
- The Sunwell

I thought that was gone. But seriously make something that cancels out fel energy and that thing will fall apart.

The first one is. It exploded, that's why the Maelstrom exists; that's where it was.
Illidan made a new one, the dumb motherfucker. That's why Nordrassil exists, the Night Elves and Aspects said "FUCK THAT NOISE! Gonna cover this shit up right quick." and grew the World Tree over it.
