If you fail a subsequent try you lose the materia AND the gear? Seems a bit harsh, although a penalty is necessary to stop overpowering gear I suppose, hmmm. I can't think of a better way although I wish there was - any thoughts or ideas on this anyone?
seems to me that losing all the attached materia is a strong enough penalty.... no need to loose the gear too.
