I want to suggest that item spells can be picked up by teammates. This would increase the effectiveness of many of the item spells. If a Ritualist were to drop his ashes, they wouldn't vanish like they do now. Another teammate could pick them up or the Ritualist could drop a few ashes and pick each one up, as he would need them. They would last their full duration and then vanish. Unlike the Destructive Was Glaive ashes, you couldn't cast them into another character's hands which would cause a lot of sabotage problems. Any other teammate can pick them up and the opposition would be able to see the ashes that are dropped, which would only be fair.

The Ritualist could cast Cruel Was Daoshen and pick up and drop his ashes repeatedly for the duration of the spell. It's not like he picks them up very fast anyway. Or he could cast Defiant Was Xinrae and pass it along to a puller (in PvE) or cast Vocal Was Sogolon and give it to the team Paragon. Or whatever. Some of he spells would have to be tweaked of course; like keeping Lively was Naomei limited to one use or lowering the duration of Blind was Mingson.

For reference, here are the items spells as they are now:

[skill]Cruel Was Daoshen[/skill] [skill]Destructive Was Glaive[/skill] [skill]Grasping Was Kuurong[/skill]

Communing
[skill]Anguished Was Lingwah[/skill] [skill]Defiant Was Xinrae[/skill] [skill]Mighty Was Vorizun[/skill]

Spawning

Glyph of Renewal ---> Item Spell ----> Drop.
Glyph of Renewal ---> Item Spell ----> Drop.
Glyph of Renewal ---> Item Spell ----> Drop.

Get the picture?

I'm closing this before the flames get hot and people get burnt. However, here's some food for thought:

Take a closer look at the skill [wiki]Blind was Mingson[/wiki] and you may understand why your idea would cause severe balance issues in the game.
