Skill Gem: A purple Item that substitutes an ability point temporarily. Suggested price: 1250
  • +2 Spirit Power.
  • Will advance an unlocked ability's level from base unlock to level 1 while this is still in the inventory. If sold or destroyed, the ability will go back to base level. If the level is advanced to level 1, this will effectively have no effect on the skill. (Only one skill at a time.)
The idea behind this item is to give a value point in exchange for souls. The item offers very little outside of that. The reason why I think this would be interesting is that some heroes have skills that feel like they benefit greatly from just one level. The issue is when it's so valuable that not doing it feels weak. For example, on Abrams, three of his level one skills have a reduced cooldown. Getting each one substantially increases how often he could fight but in doing so you prevent the skills from growing in strength. This would allow you to focus on leveling up other skills while at least having two skills with enhanced cooldown without hurting his ability to use higher impact skills earlier. At the same time, this would only be a temporary item that does very little while taking up a precious slot. The concept of a momentary advancement wouldn't make sense on every hero but it would serve as a nice alternative for some who like to have a weaker skill in their arsenal.
