[Autumn]

Spirit mirror really doesn't feel so broken that it needs to be bashed into a huge sign saying 'look at my equipment'. It already felt kind of abusive that people could see it was there from the buff list.

The whole point of stuff like mysterious is entirely so things like this can be a surprise. You are sacrificing a good bit for a gamble that half the time - Or more - Doesn't pay off. When my ranger runs into spirit mirror, it never even impacts how things play out.

If it's going to hammered in final destination fox only style, it should also recharge every few turns or something, or get a skill to let you re-apply it.

Narcus doesn't come as a huge "Fuck you" surprise to people because of its effect, Spirit Mirror should fall under the same effect and be treated exactly the same way, as you could just eat anywhere from 100-200 damage on average, or even up to 1k damage from your own ryemei, whatever happens to it afterwards is not of my concern. (Though do not be mistaken, it is incredibly strong, despite your experiences)
