A Proposal - Schema

[Baka]

[Secondary Purpose]
To strengthen the player economy and provide use for end-game player-crafted equipment or materia.

[Tertiary Purpose]
Because Schema cannot be traded, the desired element of “scarcity” cited by Yoshida and other members of SE would be, roughly, the same.


[Usage]
Schema are untradeable items that may be attached to any single item once (after which it is “destroyed”) and modifies the effective item Level of the piece of equipment or accessory in addition to providing set bonuses to the item (as indicated in the description of the Schema). As with Materia, Schema must first be attached to an item before use, unlike Materia, only a single Schema may be attached to a piece of equipment, which automatically Soulbinds it. A Schema is attached in a similar fashion to Materia; however, unlike Materia, Schema may be attached by any character - regardless of Disciple of Hand levels.
