I was under the impression that taking a cracked, crude, or damaged item and cubing it into a normal item set the ilvl to 1. Wouldn't the phase blade only get 1 socket once it's cubed for sockets?
Maximum number of sockets for Item Level < 26 Phase Blade is 3. It is not an even distribution however:
Socketed (1): 1/6 chance
Socketed (2): 1/6 chance
Socketed (3): 4/6 chance
The table
here summarises the odds depending on the maximum number of sockets (M).
The value of M depends on base item type and Item Level. See post
