I'm not too sure about which control bars can get special upgraded, but I know demonics can.
Artisan and Special upgrades are separate, you would do an Artisan first, and then the Gem Upgrades (if applicable), and then the last step is special upgrading.
After Special upgrading, you can still enchant and reforge your weapon, so don't worry too much about that.
One tip I would give you is to get one to Red Step 6 before enchanting or reforging, because you don't want to enchant and reforge your weapon only to have it potentially destroyed during the special upgrade process to step 6.
I have always done Blue stones for magic weapons, and Red stones for everything else, I believe a lot of people go by this as well.
