I would rework spirit’s progression entirely
- Increase the maximum number of rites per spirit weapon from five to eight, and make ultimate art a toggle rather than on V by default
- Reduce default relic slot count to one, as most oracles we’ve encountered thus far only use one relic
- Awakenings would be a way to access more relic slots. Oracle’s first awakening would add a second slot, while its second awakening would add a third. Meanwhile, hybrids unlock imbuements for their first awakening and a second relic for their second awakening.
- Importantly, there needs to be a decent way to obtain relics aside from fighting minibosses, which have total pain-in-the-ass RNG. Picking them up in the world is a viable option, since weapons like Sifenya are obtainable in this way. Khalida’s bracelet is a pretty good candidate.
- Those bookshelves should also be made more accessible, for the sake of both new weapon users and new spirit users.
