    Wait, please. Can you give the Icosahedron another bonus? The proposed 7.5% movement speed in utility is the exact bonus the Archmage's Apprentice give. 2 suggestions.

    1. If keeping at 7.5% movement speed allow the Ico to be slotted in Defense/Utility

    2. We have 7.5% for nearly every stat except accuracy. 7.5% accuracy would give us more flexibility in build making.
