I've been playing some Mindslayers and they're a lot of fun, but the way Reshape Weapon and Reshape Armour function has been bugging me a bit. They're activated abilities, but they have no attached cost and no cooldown - you just have to spend the time to use them on all your weapons and armour (which requires unequipping everything), and then repeat the whole process whenever you level up the talents or gain enough Willpower to increase their effect.
I can see how having them be an activated ability that reshapes your equipment is thematic and flavourful, but I think since they're already essentially "free" (other than the fact that you can't use them mid-combat), they'd work better as passives, where it's assumed you do it automatically whenever you equip something. An alternative would be to keep them as active abilities but to attach a (permanent) cost of some sort to the ability, like using up gems - I've not gotten a Mindslayer past Dreadfell yet and don't think I have the experience to talk about balance too much, though, so I don't know whether that would be appropriate.
Tweaks to Reshape Weapon/Armour
