Signature spells.
Now you see why I made a separate thread for this.
At the moment, we can have a signature spell free of charge on Primary and Secondaries. We can gain another signature by sacrificing weapon or armour slots up to Legendary.
However, It's a bit jacked up that I'm sacrificing my ability to have INFINITE WEAPONS (weak) for 1 single MP free spell that caps at C Rank, and only gets 1 effect. I know, the argument is that it's MP free so no sacrifice. My argument is, I'm losing the ability to have weapons or armour...
It's also a bit messed up that I sacrifice a Legendary weapon, and only gain 1 spell. Since I can have my legendary weapon with 2 spells, and both of them cap at A Rank.
So, how do I propose we fix this imbalance?
Keep the free signatures the same, there's literally no sacrifice at all.
Make the other signatures equal in value to the sacrifice.
What depends the marginal utility of the signature?
Rank of weapon/armour sacrificed, and give the option to turn your Artifact or Majestic item into signature slots. **must own the artifact/majestic
