Effects like the new Arcane Sculptor seriously need an in-game indicator for what abilities they can function with
Look I get it, this is a wiki game. I love using the wiki and I don't think it would make sense to have every single detail about every effect and ability listed in-game. But there's so many ways to interpret a description as vague as "creating an object with abilities" in the context of Warframe.
Something like Protea's Dispensary seems like it would obviously work, but what about Hydroid's Tentacles? They're not classed as summons for Arcane Camisado, so are they objects? What about projectiles like Ember's Fireball, do those count? Are Lavos's Transmutation Probe and Catalyze projectiles, or are they objects with an AoE around them?
Arcane Camisado says it procs from "summoned minions" and it suffers from the same issue of ambiguity. Just look at the wiki page and tell me if you could have guessed which abilities are and aren't affected. Here's just a couple contradictory examples:
-
Nidus's maggots work, but not the maggots from Pathocyst or the Strain set bonus.
-
Wukong's Celestial Twin works, but not Excalibur Umbra's passive.
-
Choralysts summoned by Caliban's Summulyst work, but not the clones summoned by a Hound pet's Diversified Denial.
What we need on Arcanes like these is a small indicator that tells you which abilities work on the currently equipped Warframe. It can be something super basic, like a little pip to represent each of the frame's abilities, and the pip is lit up if it can trigger the arcane in some way. It doesn't have to explain in complete detail how it can trigger the effect since that's the job of the wiki, but my god we need SOME kind of in-game indicator for stuff like this.
