Soul Gem "Secret" / "Item"

[darkwaffle]

Playing up a PM recently and Soul Gems are certainly useful, but sort of inconvenient. I was thinking what if you could find a PM secret that would allow your Soul Bind to simply add charges to your Phylactery or some other item rather than creating multiple gems. It'd be nice to be able to have your Soul 'Charges' hotkeyed instead of having to open your inventory for them, which is a little troublesome given how targeting changes with your inventory open.

Only problem I'd foresee is still limiting the charge usage based on time/location as the gems do now, but I think you can solve that by clearing the charges every time a transition is made, perhaps with exceptions for the PPD .

As far as I know, as long as you are on the same Abo, Ely, Hell or Abyss run, you are considered to be "in the same area and time" for purposes of using soul gems (e.g. in Phleg you can start creating soul gems as soon as in Gates of Flame and then burn them in boss fight).

I really like this idea, really do, it would make PM's inventories less messy

Like this idea too. Currently after creating a gem I wait for the next spawn with my inventory open waiting to click on the gem. Thats fine for normal spawns where it lasts through the more frantic part of the spawn but larger spawns/boss fights can be more of an issue.

Would be really cool to be able to use the function keys, would make mid-fight recharges so much easier.

or have a simtools command automatically consume a gem for you:
