Charms, a new use for collection log points?

[tranquil 40]

Charms would be available exclusively from the collection log store. 

A charm would occupy a new equipment slot. (maybe to the right of the head icon)

I think there should be a one time fee of 25 collection log points to unlock the charm slot. The 25 points would not be refundable like the rest of the store. This is a permanent cost to pay for access to the charm slot. The charms themselves however would be refundable for full price like any other item.

A charm could potentially cost between 250 - 500 points. 

I would like to see a few different charms available that provide a variety of effects.

Damage charm gives a flat 5% damage bonus to all styles in PvM. 

Guardian charm soaks 7.5% of all damage in PvM. 

Luck charm provides 7.5% drop rate. 

A lightning charm could have a small chance to proc a 10-15 mage hit on a single target enemy.

 

You get the idea. You could go all sorts of fun directions with these. I feel this adds something really cool to the store that people will want to grind for.

I believe this is the kind of end game content that should be in the collection log store. Seeing as the points truly represent "completing" different areas of the game.

I like the idea, but having them be usable 24/7 seems a bit op. Having them used like "auras" on RS3 with cool downs would be kind of cool though. But I could definitely see a problem with them being non refundable. Maybe a ~1-2 day cooldown on that as well?

that may work better if the them being a permanent fixture seems too op. And just to clarify, i think the charm itself should be refundable. But the cost of entry of 25 points should be a permanent deduction. The price to pay for access to a charm slot

I'd be very interested to see this, but I'm highly against having non-refundable points.

I'd love to see these be more of an aura like Travis suggestion, but the high price seems like a bit of a concern to me. 
250-500 col points are the numbers you see from people who have finished the game or have spent a lot of money buying promos and mystery boxes. 

Having some starter, midgame and end game auras would provide more balance and give players a taste of what they can achieve down the line.

Good feedback, I especially like the idea of having different tiers of the auras/charms available.
