This is an interesting way to look at it actually. Hyoton being able to buff another ability in the same way suiton does is not that far off.

How about we turn things around though? What if Hyoton has a different effect, or simply deals more damage under specific circumstances? To go with your Assasinate example:

Hyoton: Deals ice damage to the target with a potency of 140
If the target's health is at 20% or less: potency 380

Not very creative, sure, but: This is basically a second excute ability (in addition to Assasinate) to finish trash mobs and to increase DPS against bosses. The condition prevents it from completely replacing Raiton, but does considerably increase its usefulness. It is also just an example for... an example. But maybe improving the effect of Hyoton under specific circumstances is a good direction to explore.

Of course Hyoton improving another ability, like you suggested, is perfectly in line with what we have now and therefore likely very intuitive.
