  Can you be a little clearer?  Are you trying to insert a rod into the sword, 
and a spell into the rod?

  Which part of the object is being lost?  The spell into the rod?  How is the 
rod being created?

  Treasurelists are only created/processed for specific events.  If you just do 
something like 'arch_to_object(...)', it won't do anything with treasurelists - 
you need to call create_treasures to do that.

  In the case of some specific objects, this processing is done automatically. 
But if you're trying to put a sword on a map, I'm not sure if the full recursion 
is handled properly.   But I need a little clearer picture on this.
