I know some people are going to get mad, but I care more for this to be addressed.

After an eternity I leveled up my sprite, and now I can get another... You know the: "In Spiral Knight, You are what You wear..." Wait wrong game I think... and the thing is Sprites aren't player friendly, at all. We have a Plétora of Sprites... Yes 3, ohh so many, and the 17 skins of them... I have nothing against the skins, they are a way to show You like Black Seraphynxes more than White Seraphynxes or Tabby Seraphynxes, or Black Drakons more than Red Drakons, or Floating Pumpkins more than ¿Creepy Ghosts?.

And that's awesome. Until You realize You have to level those one by one...

So, since they are a Reskin Why not make the 3 (hopefully one day 5) Sprites the base Sprite and get skins for them (tradeable if wanted) like the Costumes, but for Sprites?
If You already have a Pumpking You would have a Maskeraith and the Pumking Skin, You can get new skins for Your "Floating Pumpking" without having to level them.
Lets even add a Deposit for the Duplicates a player Could have and they get an Achievement for "Taking Care of a Friend, is time to Release Them" for giving the copies of the Sprites they don't want to keep... Why wouldn't they want to keep multiple copies?? You ask...

I'm a master of Sideways I know.

Because Once You have given a Sprite an Evo, You can switch between any of the 3 options the skill has: Option 1(previously know as No ultimate chose), Option 2(Ultimate 1), Option 3(Ultimate 2).
No More Reset Stars to test new stuff, to try new things! to check if something is bugged or if it interacts with some of Our weapons!
The Evo's I have no problem with them is not a bad coin sink, and also can be used to teach about Different Tiers in the game
Yes this will take sometime to check and make sure the 3 options are viable, and Not Just Visuals! (oh, dear! Balance, how dreadful).

I do think this was a Parasitic Feature added to exploit players, but that doesn't mean it cannot be turned into something awesome!
Like WoW talents that You can change whenever, or Companions in Warframe that suits different playstyles. Even more here!

The team can make Sprites skins whenever it wants since the player already have sprites, perhaps more players will want them, knowing that they don't need to level the "new Drakon Skin".

Also we have 3 Tiers of Depth. why 100 levels? 30 levels? level 1 to 10 = Tier 1, level 11 to 20 = Tier 2, levels 21 to 30 = Tier 3. Yes re-adjustments are going to be necessary.

And make the skills values know, give a whimsical-mystical-cutesy explanation of the skill, sure... Then List me the numbers! I want to know Specificlly Duration, Range, Damage, Cooldown. etc! and Be usable WHILE SHIELDING why do I need to drop the shield to tell the cat behind me to Miau.
On the Sprites Skill subject, not all of them have the same cooldown, can we unified them?
