Fargo's Souls Mod

Mod Idea
Ok, so I'm not a modder and consent and permissions would be needed from Fargo and Fargo is way too busy doing other stuff at the moment and probably doesn't have time himself, but I had a cool idea for a mod:

My idea was to have a mod which adds a new menu (with some hotkey) where you can slot in the enchantments as you play through the game. Each one you add could add the effect to your character (or some other increase to damage or something) so that you can collect them as you go and unlock permanent upgrades by doing so.

I always found it a bit disappointing that you make some epic enchantments and then after a while, you make better gear and stop using them. And until you can get force accessories, you can only ever use a few of them at the same time (and if you play in eternity mode, you have so many eternity mode accessories that you need to stop debuffs, that you have almost no other slots). Also, once you get the sigil of champions, you can get all of the enchantments from beating bosses so there's not a lot of point to creating many yourself and this mod would make it worthwhile and fun to collect them.

To balance it (because wearing every enchantment at once would be crazy strong), there could be some sort of difficulty scaling on enemies.

Once you get to the point of force accessories, you could put the eridanium into the new menu to activate the force upgrades of the enchantments (or to upgrade the effects of the collection if they gave upgrades rather than doing the actual enchantment effects).

It could even be expanded to include the other accessories to make the souls - rather than having to sit at your crafting station (or magic storage) and go through loads of crafting steps, a lot of it could just be placed into the menu and kept there instead.

Let me know what you think and if anyone is interested in making it!

Difficulty scaling is a band-aid fix to what would be a self-inflicted problem. In my opinion, Fargo's Souls Mod is already broken balance-wise as is (bosses literally have to handicap you), so this would require a lot of manual tweaking. It wouldn't necessarily be a hard mod to make, just a hard once to balance.
