Ability to Downgrade Elemental Crystals into Shards.

[HakuroDK]

When I was leveling crafting classes, I actually had a surplus of Clusters, a fair amount of Crystals, and I was practically starving for Shards.

There really should be some kind of conversion for this. Heck, I'd be okay with it going both ways, as everyone needs shards, everyone needs crystals, and everyone needs clusters, but at different intervals, so a player could convert a surplus of one to fill the deficit of another. Same elemental aspect of course. No one is saying anything about "Rainbow Crystals" or something foolish like that, just being able to either break down or trade in clusters for crystals and crystals for shards, then maybe vice-versa as well.

This is my main issue. Since yields don't change the efficiency of farming crystals and shards is the same even though shards are use for basically everything pre-50 (including making subcombines for lvl 50 items) while crystals and clusters are used for far fewer recipes.
Basically only one small change should be made: Change the trait that increases the yield of crystals when we use a blessing ability to add more shards when it upgrades to be able to do crystals.
