Cash Shop Scrolls need an update

If there's one thing I dislike, it's inconsistencies. Cash Shop Scrolls are no exception. So here's my list of ideas for updating Cash Shop Scrolls.
  • Remove Shielding Ward's star restriction; When Shielding Ward was first introduced, the star cap was 15 at the time, and Star Force didn't exist yet. Shielding Ward is incompatible on Equipment with at least 12 stars, so it seemed fair back then. And then came Prime Scrolls and Star Force, which created a problem, because Star Force made reaching 12 stars much easier, and if you use Clean Slate Scrolls on 12+ star equipment, then you can't negate the Prime Scrolls' risk of booming. Fast forward to today, and not only is there the new Ark Innocence Scroll, which keeps stars while resetting everything else a regular one does, but also the star cap has been increased to 25 stars. At this point, Shielding Ward's 12 star limit needs to go. The same should be said on Superior Shielding Ward and Protection Scroll. (For Superior Shielding Ward, it's 7 stars.)
  • Make Guardian Scrolls usable on all pottable equipment; Guardian Scrolls can only be used on Equipment that can receive Star Force. The thing is, Guardian Scrolls can preserve Potential Scrolls, so it doesn't make sense that Guardian Scrolls can't be used on Equipment that can't have Stars, but can have Potential. Therefore, Guardian Scroll's compatibility should be changed to solely based on Potential.
  • Add a free version of Guardian Scroll; Shielding Ward and Shield Scroll get to have free versions called "Protection Scroll" and "Safety Scroll" respectively. Guardian Scroll should have a free version called "Preservation Scroll" added to the game and it would drop from the same sources as Protection Scrolls and Safety Scrolls.
  • Add Guardian Scroll to Reboot World; Even though there's no regular scrolling or Bonus Potential, Reboot gets to keep Regular Potential, and along with it, Potential Scrolls. The problem is, without Guardian Scrolls, Potential Scrolls, especially UPot, are always YOLO attempts. Meaning if they fail, you'll have wasted time and resources. Adding Guardian Scrolls to Reboot World would give you more Potential Scroll attempts without having to acquire new Potential Scrolls.
  • Rename Return Scroll to Rewind Scroll; The name "Return Scroll" could either refer to the Cash Shop item or the consumable that warps you to towns. The cash item should be renamed to "Rewind Scroll", because it's basically the Scroll counterpart to Black Cube, White Cube, and Miracle Circulator, letting you choose between keeping a Chaos Scroll's result, or discard it and be refunded the upgrade slot.
  • Rename Perfect Innocence Scroll to Special Innocence Scroll; The name "Perfect Innocence Scroll" could either refer to the Cash Shop item or a regular Innocence Scroll that also removes Rebirth Flames' Bonus Stats. The cash item should be renamed to "Special Innocence Scroll", because it's basically a 100% Innocence Scroll that doesn't remove Bonus Stats. I say "Special", because Potential Scrolls and Bonus Potential Scrolls with "Special" in their name are guaranteed to work.
  • Add Lucky Day Scroll to the Cash Shop; Remember Vega's Spell? It was basically the "beta" version of Lucky Day Scrolls. With that in mind, Lucky Day Scroll should be added to the Cash Shop, at the same price as the Pet Equipment version. Speaking of which...
  • Remove Pet Special Scrolls and make Pet Equipment scrollable with any special scroll; The problem with Pet Equipment is if a pet upgrade scroll fails, the upgrade slot is lost forever if you didn't use a Pet Shield Scroll. Therefore, Pet Equipment should be scrollable with Innocence Scrolls, and Clean Slate Scrolls. Since the Pet Special Scrolls use the same price as the regular version, it would make more sense if the regular versions can be used on Pet Equipment, and in doing so, the Pet Special Scrolls should be removed from the Cash Shop.
