Can you make recombinated items magic if recombinating 2 affixes and both items magic?

I've been playing around with recombination and essences thinking i could guarantee 3 mods on an items by recombinating white items that i hit with essences thinking the resulting item would be magic. However the resulting recombination gave me 2 affix rares which do not allow me to hit it with a greater essence.

I think it would be much better if the resulting item would be magic as long as both items are magic and you only try to get 2 affixes.

It would be nice to have a bit more interaction between crafting systems since raw slamming is terrible and trying to recombinate anything more than 3 mods (especially higher tiers) is a pipe dream.
relying on purely omens once an item is rare is fine but currently relying on omens + luck past 2 mods is a bit too early for items to feel like a project rather than building a base to craft on top of.
