Is it possible to remove the reduced rarity of Aurumvorax?

As said in the Title.

I saw this in the wiki.



became like this.




is it possible for Aurumvorax (or any unique) to work like that?, did anyone tried it?
Reduced item rarity is Aurumvorax's downside. GGG likes to balance uniques by giving them a downside. The Goddess Scorned's downside is that it uses both weapon slots, preventing you from holding a shield. Also, in Aurumvorax's case, the downside is easily mitigated by pairing the sword with Andvarius for a ton of rarity. The downsides of each unique cancel each other out. SYNERGY.
The chance to Vaal +1% maximum resists on an amulet is less than 1/300.

In the case of the D&D monster, Aurumvorax was translated as "Golden Gorger," which, as the critter in question was essentially a mutant wolverine with a metallic hide, made perfect sense. Ah, Expedition to Barrier Peaks, you freakshow of a module. =^[.]^=

Unrelated and not trivial: GGG are not that into drawbacks enabling greater advantages on uniques anymore -- flagships of such a style such as Kaom's Heart have since been changed. The recentish dev post by newcomer GGG item designer Nick made clear that the only real drawback GGG like on uniques is 'you aren't using a potentially better rare'.

A shame I missed the bandwagon on that one. Welcome to the wonderful world of mediocrity I guess.

Actually Aurum vorax means voracious gold (or gluttonous gold for the alliteration).

Aurumvorax is a very powerful item.

If you think it sucks, you haven't yet figured out its strength.

Spoiler
It can completely negate Merciless resistance penalties, except for chaos.
