Suggestion: Make the legendary item 'Ioun Stone of Mastery' optional to use

[|Reflexx|]

During your adventuring you can receive the legendary treasure called, 'Ioun Stone of Mastery'. Your party can only have one of these at a time. When a character has this item in their inventory, the next time they cast a Utility or Daily power the Ioun Stone of Mastery is destroyed in place of using up the Utility or Daily power. This happens automatically when you cast the Utility or Daily power.

This should not happen automatically, but instead the player should be given the option to either destroy the Ioun Stone of Mastery and save their Utility or Daily power, or keep the Ioun Stone of Mastery and lose the Utility or Daily power.

Why?

It is difficult to collect legendary mats in the game. The main way is by scrapping the Daveak's (sp?) Cloak or the Ioun Stone of Mastery after a qeust completes (treasure chests rarely have any good amount of legendary mats in them). When you scrap either of these two legenadry items you get 20 legendary mats, and the chance to get them again in the next quest.

The issue with Ioun Stone of Mastery is that if you are using this method to obtain legendary mats, as soon as you get the Ioun Stone of Mastery you instantly tell yourself not to use any Utility or Daily power on that character for the remainder of the quest. Sometimes you remember, sometimes you forget and you nerd rage over how you just wasted 20 legendary mats for a stupid disspell magic Utility power.

The way the Ioun Stone of Mastery should work is if you have it in your inventory, and that character uses a Utility or Daily power, an option window should pop up asking you if you would like to destroy the Ioun Stone of Mastery in place of saving the Utility or Daily power. This way the players who want to use the item as it was intedned could, but also the players who are collecting legendary mats can avoid mistakenly casting a Utility or Daily power and thus destroying 20 legendary mats in the process. As a legendary mat collector, I much rather burn my Utility or Daily power and hold on to the Ioun Stone of Mastery (aka - 20 legendary mats).

This issue does not happen with Daveke's (sp?) Cloak because when that item activiates it does not destroy itself; only its benefit.
