If they're making a system that lets you turn unwanted Kuva Lich weapons into Lures I'm now imagining something that lets you expend surplus Converted Liches with a matching element to boost one of your Lich Weapons' elemental bonus by a small amount, possibly scaling with how much their elemental bonus is.

Yes I know there's already that thing that lets you trade up your weapon's bonus for a higher bonus taken from another instance of the same weapon, but this is different; what exact type of weapon your Lich has wouldn't matter, only what elemental bonus they provide, even if it's lower than yours. Not sure how high the increase would actually go- certainly not straight addition, more like increase your desired weapon's elemental bonus by a number of points equal to 20% of the expended Lich's elemental bonus idk.

Why use Converted Liches for this sort of thing? Imagine it as calling in a favor: You've defeated your Lich, you've turned them to your side through Mercy and blackmail, and now you're calling them to your Orbiter or Dojo and showing them a piece of Grineer tech modified in a manner similar to theirs with an ultimatum: "Make this better and we'll call it even." Leave the weapon with the Lich overnight, come back to claim your boosted weapon, you both go your separate ways with the understanding that if you see each other again you *will* be trying to kill each other.

Goodbye random Lich with 25% Radiation bonus Kuva Kraken, hello +5 increase to my Kuva Charkhur's 35% Radiation bonus, for a grand total of 40% radiation bonus.

Yeah numbers might need tweaking and definitely establish a cap on how high your bonus can go with or without modding like this, but hopefully the idea itself is still good.
