I think this goes back to the basics of obvious "runes" and hidden runes. It was one of the motivations for my proposal of splitting prefixes into make, material and quality. And making them all obvious. So an iron dagger is clearly iron on inspection. It doesn't need an iron rune and it should not have a rune for slay demon, since that is a property of the iron, not a magical enchantment.
This would be different to a weapon of slay demon, which looks like a normal weapon but has a magical slay demon property. This item would have a magical property that would not be known until you learn what the rune means.
