How to get the desired mod on helmet

I have a helmet that I want to craft "Trigger socketed Spells when you Focus with a 0.25 second cooldown".

If I understand correctly I can get that by applying a veiled exalt orb.
If that doesn't get what I am after then I have to annul and hope it removed the unwanted stat and try again.

If it removed the "Prefixes cannot be changed" mod then I have to apply that again on the bench and then do the orb slam again and hope. Annul if not successful and rinse and repeat till I get what I'm after. Is that the correct process ?

Helmet is currently at this stage

If you are in standard and want an actual good item this is a brick since we have the higher level bases now. You want to be crafting on a lich's circlet.

To answer the question though if all you want is the crafted mod then just craft it since you have an open suffix. If you want another crafted mod besides the trigger then you are on the right track I believe.

I do not have the craft on the bench but looking at the Undiscovered crafts I can get it by going to the Refinery. Since I want to use the other suffix for a bench craft I went the veiled exalt route and got what I needed with Jun.

I'll also look into the Lich circlet as an option later. Thxs for the advice.
