Double Cast Item

[TheEmpyrean]

A spirit item that allows you to imbue a basic ability (one that doesn't utilize charges) with an additional charge. When you cast the ability, it goes on cooldown as usual. The second charge granted by the item allows you to recast the ability, but with weakened effects (e.g. reduced numbers). Casting the ability always prioritizes the regular charge instead of the weakened one granted by the item.

The basic design is sound but both balancing and implementing it would be a huge pain in the ass. Echo Shard is already quite strong, viable on most heroes.

I agree with you entirely. I think the concept could definitely be fun if it had interactions with charge items but it definitely doesn't have a place in the game currently.
