I have had this idea for a while but abandoned it ever since Haze got spirit damage on her ultimate. I have recently realised that this change has been reverted, so it is just about the time to articulate it.
The concept is simple - the new T4 spirit item temporarily converts all outgoing [weapon] damage to spirit damage. It could be possibly an upgrade to Mystic Shot, but the stats should not be scalable from spirit at all (to keep the weapon damage aspect of the build a primary goal).
The stats could be negligible for a T4 item (relatively short duration and high cooldown), but in case it does seem overpowered, a reduced multiplier (i.e. 0.8x damage convertion), penalized fire-rate, decreased movement speed, worse bullet drop or other debuffs could be added, just like with Glass Cannon. On a related note, given the scalable nature of Glass Cannon, some similar perk (i.e. + 0.1x damage per kill during the active window) could be also considered.
The rationale is simple - some heroes seem to be one-trick ponies that can rely on their gun. Given the variety of bullet resist upgrades, mid- to late-game often feels unfair on right-clickers. And unpurgable Metal Skin also feels unfair.
