Runes/Soul Cores shouldn't be permanent

You shouldn't brick an item because you needed cold resist at the time and then later you upgrade another item and now you don't need the resist and realize the item is bricked because your gloves need to have a certain soul core instead.

Just make it a million gold or 10 million to remove, there's nothing else to do with gold late game anyways

Runes should be able to be socketed and removed with little to no cost.

10 artificer's orbs would be fine. Gold sink, free... Whatever it is I don't care, just let us have this one flexibility with our gear.

I think a nice middle ground and would add a bit of flavor is make runes unsocketable (destroys the rune) but make soul cores perma.

I actually don't care if it cost 100k gold to remove it. I just want to be able to remove them.

I think I'm ok with this. Make soul cores the ones you have to really think about.
