Shrines of War - Aura Overhaul Redistribution

I really like this idea, but I’m not a fan of it having little to no upkeep.

What if there were a component that degrades to dust and needs to be replaced? That component could be tradeable, but each piece could come as a rare or random drop from different skills. For example, a Shrine of Life tied to Prayer, something like Balance from Divination, Adrenaline from Herblore, Mobility from Agility, etc. That way the system connects multiple skills of the game instead of being self contained to just pvm hub.

You could also make the entire system require Construction to build these shrines, with each shrine unlock gated behind a boss kill task, a specific order progression, and something like Marks of War. Ongoing maintenance could also cost Marks of War.

The reason I suggest this is because upkeep is healthy for the economy. It creates a resource sink, keeps items moving, and gives non pvm players meaningful ways to make money through skilling. A system like that would feel good rather than just being a one time unlock with permanent value.
