We can already breakdown components... but what about once you make a power and don't want it anymore, or did it and want to try another? I currently have about 3 sets of incarnate powers on each category wasting since I can only use one. Since Emp. merits stop at Vet lvl 100, it kinda make Incarnate Powers finite.
We should be able to destroy (breakdown) those extra powers and get a few threads/shards and/or Emp. merits back. Those merits can be put to good use in other lvl 50's toons, and the threads can be kept on the toon who broke them down for other powers or to sell for super inspirations.
