Bug Report ID: #2220941036: Orb of Alchemy or Exalted Orb acted as a Chaos Orb

Bug Report ID: #2220941036
I had double item rarity on a pearl ring. Either the item rarity mods were removed when upgrading from magic to rare or when I exalt slammed the ring. I had an exalted orb in stash, but after using it on the ring it was consumed, but the effect on the item was as if I had used a chaos orb on it instead (chaos orb not consumed from stash). Anyway to either check that I am right or to roll back the item to a previous state? I am now wondering if I had misread item rarity on the item, which would be weird or if the mods glitched, which would also be weird.

You used an alchemy orb which acts like a regal and chaos combined

TY for explanation - been playing for a year and this is the first time I try hitting a magic item with an orb of alchemy. I thought it would work like an empowered regal orb and just add two additional fresh mods while preserving the 1-2 previous magic modifiers. Will keep in mind for the next crafting project.

I am a little surprised because the mechanic basically seems like PoE1 original chaos orbs. I guess it is technically a good thing because you could save an item base that got bad magic mods from your transmute and augmentation?

It makes sense, just not how I expected it to work based on the wording.

I also did not realize that Alchemy orbs were updated in PoE1 last patch. So, they work as intended but not how I expected (intended = reroll bad mods; expected=regal orb from magic to rare but add two mods instead of one).
