Carded Item Transformation

[JamesPhail]

I remember when I used to play Diablo 2, you would get these loot called runes (RO card equivalents) and you could slot them into items with sockets (RO slotted equips equivalents.) If you slotted the right runes into an item, I recall that it would turn into a stronger version of that item with different attributes.

Now, you probably see where i'm going with this... I was thinking maybe a similar mechanic where, if you slotted certain specific cards into a weapon or armor, you could turn said item into an NPC and they would transform it into a sort of heRO custom(but balanced) item of that item but retained some of the card effects, or turn into a completely different item, and with a little bonus attribute on the side.

I think that this idea, like the mr hatter guy, would help eat up those useless miscellaneous cards that we all have sitting at the bottom of our kafra storage and would open an opportunity to get fresh creative gear.
