Glyphstone Ability Suggestion: Imbue Weapon

[Ralnos]

Allows an Arcanist to temporarily bind a glyphstone to a melee weapon (not shields) and grant it elemental enhancement from the glyphstone's specific type. Max simultaneous Imbues based on one per 200-250 Arcana could also be a good one. Steadily draining the glyphstone (efficiency increased via higher arcana skill, maybe?) while active is another good restriction.

Obviously you'd have to be wielding the weapon to have any of this happen. These ideas are loose and should not be considered ideas to be applied as a whole set but individual ideas on what the effect of the ability could be.

Ideas for Earth Imbue:
Prevents sharpness loss for bladed weapons.
Chance to cause minor (1-2) balance loss to target on any damaging hit (even doing 1 damage) with blunt weapons.
Slows weapon durability loss greatly (this one's already done somewhere though).

Ideas for Fire Imbue:
Netherbane oil effect, except without the actual item.
Makes item radiate decent amounts of light and heat.

Ideas for Water Imbue:
Chance to raise wielder's balance by 1 on a successful hit.
Chance to lower any form of balance loss by 1-3 when triggered.

Ideas for Air Imbue:
Chance to lower mobility-effecting debuff durations by 1 second.
Chance to trigger a gust buffer when being knocked down, lowering the duration by 1-2 seconds.

Ideas for Force Imbue:
Chance to trigger a force explosion on hit with any weapon to deal a small amount of crushing damage (4-10?)
Chance to deploy a brief force shield when striking an enemy, lasting 8-16 seconds, and reducing damage taken from the next attack taken in that time by a small, but set amount (5-10?)

Edited-in note: For clarity's sake, the Imbued Weapons should be able to be passed around as normal so you can, say, give your hired help a flaming sword while you and they go spelunking in search of discoveries. I'd personally say max duration of 30-40 minutes if you're using a fresh glyphstone+have maxed arcana skill, but a minimum of at least 15 to 20 minutes.
