Hasn't everyone been annoyed at being unable to get enough crystals efficiently? What if you can create radiants by shinings combining just like the reverse can be done? That would be amazing :D
Heating crystals building up AND down
The reason you cant craft fire crystals UP is then no one would need to do higher levels, get the recipes with crowns, then do low levels. Rarities are a meaning to do higher levels.

Technically speaking, lower levels (depths) give better loot, but I know what you were getting at.
With a high enough ratio and crown cost, crafting fire crystals up would be balanced. I suggested say, a 5:1 ratio, perhaps with a 250 crown cost on top of this. To get 4 radiant fire crystals, you would be down 20 shining fire crystals and 1k crowns. For some this would not be too much, but keep in mind if you want to 100% a 5* item on every forge, you would need 453 radiant fire crystals, which amounts to 2,265 shining fire crystals and 113,250 crowns just to convert under my suggestion. The energy depot way is still much, much more.
The crown costs can be figured out for the other star levels too, but the real issue at hand here is radiants.

so all people have to do vana all day and become no life people just to get radiant? -_-'
and no for shadow lair.. some people have bad connection which make them have hard time in run.
If the rate is quicker to get radiants the current way then this is fine. As it is, a full tier 3 expedition can net you ~21 radiants and ~30-48 shinings on a good run. A level up at a 5:1 ratio might be a fair amount, especially with a crown cost tagged on.
