an addition to the invention system

This is actually an idea I had before I read anything about the Incarnate system. So it's possible my idea is now already outdated, but anyway...

I would like to see another kind of IO in between the current "regular" IOs and set IOs. They would be craftable using existing salvage, with recipes Not as drops but only purchasable from crafting tables using Inf.

These would be dual and triple and quad enhancing IOs, but we would be able to CHOOSE (perhaps within some limits) what aspects of a power would be getting enhanced. Ideally we would be able to do unusual combinations, such as Endurance Reduction/Range, Recharge/Damage/Hold, or Defense/Damage Resistance.

These IOs would be slottable in any power that accepted any aspect the piece enhanced, just like an HO. They would, however, grant no set bonuses.

Mostly signed.

Common (or semi-common) multi-aspect IOs - signed. Twice. Thrice?

(Although I do wonder if this will have negative effect on the still-popular Hami-O's, which taste great in milk. Because of Hami-O's, I'd have to say probably not available from vendor, just dropping as "uncommon" IOs.)

Choose-your-own - Needless complexity. Unsigned.
