Spark Conversion-
One of the more frustrating aspects of the game as it stands is the need for an astronomical amount of Sparks of Inception. The number required to achieve rank 3 in all basic spells is abnormally inflated and unreachable under standard means. Relying on the common drop rates of 1, 7, or in the case of the extremely fortunate, 50, means that you may never see the hundreds of sparks drop required in order to advance your character.
As you know, there comes a point where Sparks of Silence become the currency to advance your spells. Sparks of Silence are more plentiful and less used because often times players are not able to advance their spells beyond the phase where Sparks of Inception are necessary. As such, the value of Sparks of Silence is greatly reduced- just check the AH pricing between Sparks of Inception and Sparks of Silence to see what I mean- Basic Items (Sparks of Inception) have a MUCH higher cost than the further advanced Sparks of Silence. Add to that the fact that Sparks of Silence drop more frequently and in larger quantities (2,14, and 100), and you have a fundamental imbalance in the distribution of a necessary supply.
What I propose is a way to, at a cost, convert Sparks of Silence down to Sparks of Inception. Say, complete a quest and activate a service where you can pay a fee (say, 50 silver or .5 Reals) where you can convert as many Sparks of Silence into Sparks of Inception at a rate of 2 to 1- 2 of the more plentiful Sparks of Silence for 1 of the currently less plentiful Sparks of Inception.
What this does is ease the hemmorage of Sparks if Inception and makes better use of Sparks of Silence. The value of Sparks of Silence will increase while not affecting the overall value of the drops - basically making a drop of 2, 14, or 100 Silences equal to a drop of 1, 7, or 50 Inception. This also allows a person who was not fortunate with his drops of Inception to still achieve rank 3 spells without having to resort to spending hundreds of gold to do it, and by charging a small fee, it removes that much wealth from the system, allowing the sale of additional Reals. It's a win situation all the way around.

Seriously, conversion is necessary. Please look into this.
At this rate, I will never have enough sparks to bring even ONE spell into the range to use the sparks of silence.
Not a single spark of inception. Tried farmin lower level stuff and got nowhere.
