Lepus Rising Sandals

[Ambrose Grail]

Name: Lepus Rising Sandals
Description: A pair of sturdy yet stylish leather sandals with straps and buckles that go up as far as the user's knees for secure, non-slip but very breathable wear.
Class: 7-1
Item Type: Weapon
Item Power (IP): 100 at Class 7 + 125 per Class
Offense Type: None
Durability: x2 Item Power
Bonuses: Necessary to use the Silver Hare System Bu Gei techniques, these sandals modify and adjust the flow of the user’s reiatsu, enabling them to use the techniques even if they lack the reiatsu control to do so on their own. This has the additional benefit of modulating the flow of the user’s bodily energies during the use of stepping techniques, storing 2.5% of the cost of stepping techniques in the sandals, per Class of the item. At any time, reiatsu from this storage can be used to pay for the entire cost of a stepping technique.
Drawbacks: Ryo cost. To benefit from Lepus Rising Sandals, the user must have the requisite number of skill points in the Silver Hare System (Classes 7-5 = 1 point, Classes 4-3 = 2 points, Class 2-1 = 3 points).
Cost: 1000 Ryo for Class 7 + 1000 Ryo per Class.
Crafting Skills: Crafting 1-3 or Silver Hare System 1-3
Donated to Urahara's: Yes

I shall be the first grader! As this was discussed in vc I will mark the notes below.

The IP gained per class was lowered to 125.

The Item type was changed to weapon.

With that I'm happy to give my 1/2!

I am fine with a reduction in stamina costs, but I think reiatsu costs is a bit much. On a Shinigami, with a 50 Reiatsu Shunpo, this lowers their Shunpo reiatsu cost down to a paltry 32; and it hits very high cost Step Techs like Utsusemi even moreso (a 500 reiatsu step tech is reduced to a 320 cost one-- that's not a tiny reduction). While I'm aware it will cause major problems for the item (and I am fine with the cost being lowered accordingly), I would request the reiatsu cost reduction be removed.

[Ambrose Grail]

Seeing as how the stamina effect is a ribbon with no real impact on the game or the story, you're very right that axing the reiatsu reduction creates a big problem for the item. Since it barely does anything but be a technique tax without that, how about this instead?

[Col Arana]

I'm fine with this in concept, though I do have to ask, what benefits do the different Classes have on the item now? Is it solely for enhanced durability?

[Ambrose Grail]

This has the additional benefit of modulating the flow of the user’s bodily energies during the use of stepping techniques, storing 2.5% of the cost of stepping techniques in the sandals, per Class of the item.

Emphasis mine, in response to your question. There is also enhanced durability and the fact that these are classified as a weapon, giving them a high IP for the purpose damaging defenses and other items.
