Now do not get me wrong, I love them and I mean that in a fighting alongside and fighting against them kind of way but one thing struck me about them and I could be wrong in my thinking; so here goes...

Shifters have a major focus (easy to maintain in terms of mana)

Shifters have a minor focus (less easy to maintain in terms of mana without the edge)

Some lucky shifters *green eyed monster* get a special form that is often not part of their major or minor focus so should these forms, regardless of how confident the shifter is in using them, cost significantly more mana per tick so that the shifters who have them will have to be more tactical in when they use them instead of using them the majority of the time?

If they already do cost significantly more to maintain then fine but I just thought it would be in keeping with the idea of foci/costs etc in the form design.

So, request is to have an increase in the cost of maintaining 'special' shapeshifter forms to make them more of a tactical choice than the proverbial.
