[Embers 1.02] Innovation doesn't trigger without re-equip

[Dracos]

So partially what had me thinking it didn't work at all but:

If you are equipped with Innovation relevant gear and level it up, nothing will happen.
Same if you de-level it.

It only seems to be modifying gear stats on equip, and doesn't force a recheck when its level changes. Because of that, it can be exploited in late/end game by going to a town, leveling it to 5, re-equipping all of your gear, and then deleveling it back to 1. All the benefits of level 5 but without having it.
