Koudelka Style Equipment

[cocicookie]

Just wondering if it is possible to make system like from the game Koudelka where when you pick up a weapon or armor, it randomly picks the weapons element for you, for example early on in the game, you can pick up a dirk. One time I got it it was a fire dirk, the next a wind dirk. This added a small element of strategy in, as you had to choose the right weapon for the right battle (although with koudelka it was slightly annoying, due to certain weapons breaking).

So is it possible?
