Weapons & Equip Upgrades for dungeon biome chest weapons and Terra Blade

The biome chests in the dungeon contain really cool loot, but at the time of implementation it was intended to be the final tier of loot, the best of the best. This made perfect sense; after all, the weapons were only obtainable after Plantera had been defeated (the latest boss at the time) and required rare keys to drop in order to be unlocked. These weapons are all very unique and offer interesting mechanics.
The Terra Blade is similar in that it requires lots of planning, forethought, crafting, and battling in order to finally complete. It's also the game's namesake sword.

It is a shame that many of these items become outclassed by the Moon Lord's drops and celestial fragments. There is often little use for the items at those late stages of the game.
I think it would be great to see upgraded versions the biome chest weapons and Terra Blade available in the very late game (post Golem or Moon Lord). They wouldn't have to be drastic revamps, but statistical and perhaps graphical enhancements to make the rarest and most complex weapons practical and fun to use against the Moon Lord.

They could be obtained by crafting or some other method. I had the thought that perhaps they would simply be enhanced by Luminite at the Manipulator, or perhaps the Lunatic Cultist could bestow the player with some ancient knowledge of the dungeon or drop some arcane substance that would allow the upgrade to take place. Better yet, make some interesting use of the tablet they all worship there and make it function like an item frame that drops the weapon's upgrade or something.

No sprites or specific numbers for you, just the concept.
