Forgery vs Soulcasting

So, we know that on Sel, Forging works by altering an object's past, making it something new based off what's a likely alternative, such as making a wall be painted red instead of blue for a very simple example. Soulcasting on the other hand, alters an object's present by changing its identity, the stronger it sees itself as something, the harder it is to change, the stick being a prime example, it was a stick and it was going to stay a stick. My question is, do you think it'd be easier or harder to Forge something after it's been Soulcasted, and vice versa. Cause I can't imagine something that was recently Soulcasted would be easy to tell the past of to be able to know what would be a likely different path it could have taken, but at the same time, it wouldn't have a baked in identity saying that it's what it currently is, instead of what the Forger is trying to get it to be. Same with Soulcasting, if you try doing it to something Forged, would you be able to Soulcast it easier since the identity was reset? Or no, because Investiture resists Investiture and the stamp is a source of the Dor?
