Furies' Decision:
We will implement solution 2
Problem: Currently, once crystals are spun there is no way to destroy them. The
only way is to find someone else to kether or psiblade them. This is
particularly inconvenient when it comes to sparing because the charges do not
reset after the arena causing me to have to take a break before defending or
sparing again to "run down" gems. This also happens frequently in combat outside
of the arena in any fight we win, we essentially have to face the next fight
weaker than before. Due to the nature of domoths and revolts, this is
particularly problematic as there is not enough time to feasibly run down gems.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Make it so spinning a new crystal will replace the
 old one restoring the charges
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Add in a crystalplex destroy (gem) option that would
 destroy the gem from your crystalplex. This should
 only work on gems that you have spun (not resonance
 or rubies spun against you) and should be forceable
 and have a significant balance loss around ~5 seconds
 to make it less usable during combat situations.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3: Make it so that gem charges are completely restored
 after an arena event.

Solution 3 sounds like it should already be that way, I'd go with that one over
any others.

I think both solution 2 and 3 would be good. But if only one, then Solution 3.
---[Raeri on 9/17 @ 07:57 writes]:
3 should happen regardless as it sounds buggy more than anything else. I'd go
with Solution 2, since it would be similar with faereturn
---[Iytha on 9/21 @ 22:37 writes]:
I agree with Sidd, Sol. 3 sounds like something that should already have been
the case. I'm not really sure why people prefer solution 2 over solution 1, as
being able to replace gems directly is more in line with the request than
replacing them in a roundabout way with destroying them and then spinning them
again.

3 is a good one. Solution 2 is acceptable too.

2 or 3, 3 preferred.
