Don't think this works very well... yes it is original, however the ability to upgrade a gondor sword to mith level with just 3 nuggets rather than needing 2 ingots is rather OP, plus you are limiting it to elvish factions, dwarvish factions, and orcish factions. this rules out the men of gondor, rohan, rhun, and harad, as well as half-trolls, the tauredain, and the moredain. now while some of those would realistically not be able to plate a layer of metal onto a sword or a breastplate, most would be able to do it, the men of gondor or harad for instance can definately smith metal, and the tauredain could likely do it with a lesser metal such as iron, although this would be with armor only.

some fixes:

this should up durability, you are covering it in a layer of the strongest metal available

warhammers/bludgeons (but not clubs) should not recieve a damage bonus, in fact realistically none of them should be since it was never crafted into weaponry so we do not know if it could be sharpened. but that would ruin the suggestion so they are fine. clubs however should recieve a limited bonus as just 1 layer of mith would increase the hardness (even hardwood can bend) as much as 3

Any items plated with mithril should gain a "sheen" as i mentioned on that mithril texture thread where they would gain a silver overlay similar to that of an enchanted item
