cool idea, but i think it should cost more pips maybe two

Agreed! It is an awesome spell idea but I would say a two pip spell as you would be hitting mostly 0 pip spells but reversing the effect is a powerful turn of events in game play. I would even push it to 3 pips but I feel it warrants a 2 pip look.
As I see this playing out I see it used mostly as a PvP spell. It would be effective in PvE though so I would not dismiss it.
It would have to work on the most recent cast spell though or something as I feel that would be the simplest way to use in game.
So say you are hit with a weakness and then a trap and you use the spell on yourself it would change the trap to a shield.
Your enemy cast a two shield on themselves and you hit them making the last shield a trap.
Casting it on an ally or self turns one negative into a positive while casting it on an enemy changes a positive to a negative.
The biggest reason it must be a two pip if not three is cause unlike steals or breaks you are getting an added benefit from it. A 90% weakness now becomes a blade, a 70% now becomes a trap! It would be huge in PvP play.
I suppose 2 pips would be a better cast for it. But it all depends on the turn it is used of course. And it will be tricky to use well, if you blade yourself first, then use it on yourself to change a trap, you just weakened your blade. So I figured one pip would fit because of the strict timing necessary for the spell. And because I wanted it to be something trainable to everyone.
But 2 pips may fit it better given the big bonuses that can be achieved from this.
