Briefing

Invention Enhancements are a brand new type of Enhancement that you get to make. They're like traditional Enhancements, but with more...kick. They can be slotted at three levels higher than yours, but if my calculations are correct, and they always are, they cannot be combined with other Enhancements.

But this, THIS will put some gas in your car! They don't expire as you level! And wait, there's more! Their effectiveness is constant and based on the level of the Recipe.

There are even new 'sets' of Invention Enhancements. Individual Enhancements make up these sets and they work like normal Invention Enhancements, but as you gather and slot your single Power within this 'set', it grants you bonuses. At any level! Imagine the bonuses if you had the WHOLE SET!!

Now go sift through those brown Storage Cylinders and see my instructions and Invention Enhancement samples. Give me a report on those samples! I want to know what you think!
