Mimic Manager

[Radicaljoe]

Currently as shadow WX with the posessed heart, you can use mimiced items.
this sounds pretty cool on paper, in practice it's rather meh (especially post green staff removal). But that's not important right now. 
I want to talk about a couple annoyances to use the mimic items and some solutions.

1- mimic items like to transform upon shard transfer regardless of affinity.

2- mimics like to stall when you want them to mimic an item, on top of you have to clear out a space for them to only pick that item.
 

My suggestion for both of these problems is that mimics should be pickupable. Like how the rabbit hat lets you pick up rabbits, let posessed heart WX pick up mimics. Then, you can hover a mimic over an item and make the mimic transform into that item. 
This saves on time, issues where a mimic detransforms for some reason, and makes it feel like you're in control of your perks.

wait, this didn't happened before, this makes the effect even worse

it's not consistent, It happens randomly. But it happens enough that it's annoying. But also solvable with the suggestion I had

I think it would also be nice if WX-78 with possesed atrium inserted could tell which items are mimicked.

Things like this really go to show that, despite how many cool ideas this skill tree has given us, there is just a shocking amount of qol missing still. This problems extends far beyond just the mimicked items but I kind of think they best show the issue

Agreed, just add extra check strings would be good. like if you check spear you'll say "come on meatbag." or sth, and if it is mimic item it just become"come on meatbag. this one feels alive"

 I think something like what Maxwell has for shadow equipment could work for WX  Having mimicked items being all shadow-gloopy in the inventory (sorry for awful picture, you get the gist)
