Just because the Animators are equipped in the /ra doesn't make them weapons. Is it subject to the rules of that gear slot? Yes, just like an instrument or a real weapon or fishing pole, you lose TP swapping it in or out of said slot. Again, the TP loss is a function of the slot, not what's put in the slot.

Still think the idea is neat.
