When you look at the enhancement display on a level 9 shard, it says it'll upgrade it to 10. But when you actually do, it just resets it to 1. Because I'm so in the habit of just hitting A and breezing through that particular confirm screen, I didn't see the "Would you like to deactivate [shard name]?" the first time.
Not really sure what the point of this is. If it refunded you all the materials you'd spent upgrading it in the first place, maybe? Like if you upgraded something to see if it'd become worthwhile and then decided it wasn't and wanted to change your mind. But just rolling over from 9 to 1 for no reason seems odd.

I saw that too.
Dawn of Sorrow that had the same idea of picking up powers from enemies and upgrading them (by picking more of the same type) had an option called "Free the soul" where you could simply throw away one unit of a particular soul. At first, it really seemed pointless but after some thought, i understood that, since some souls changed their looks and behavior by upgrading, the player could actually dislike the upgrades and could decide on downgrade them if they thought their lower versions was more useful or better looking or anything.
I think the option to downgrade back to 1 can be the same thing.

Fix the tooltip for the enhancement preview so it shows it going from 9-1 instead of to a 10 that doesn't exist, and/or have a secondary "Are you sure?" kind of pop-up for resetting one. |

1) Does the shard return to its level 1 stats?
2) If not, if you upgrade the shard yet again, does it become "level 2" or stay "level 1"? It's unlikely, but it might only be able to display one digit.

Invariel The shard returns to rank 1, weaker and with the basic rank 1 animation.

Definitely a bug and not a formatting error then. Thanks, Pure Miriam |

Showing that it will go to rank 10 is a bug, but the process itself doesn't seem to be.
Johannes asks something different after rank 9. He asks if you want to deactivate the shard.

It may also be a potential story element if keeping your shard levels at 1 somehow changes your interactions or endings when dealing with Gebel and/or Dominique.

as is between being able to sell shards to control the power as well as being able to downgrade a shard is one more tool in allowing the player to customize their run that i wholly support, the one criticism i have with this though is i think downgrading your shard should have its own button so you dont accidentally downgrade, i nearly downgraded one by accident but caught myself, and then did it intentionally to see what it actually did, this alteration would also give the player more freedom as they could then downgrade at any rank rather than having to go all the way to 9 (ie player thinks arrows is too powerful at 4, resets it to 1 and goes to 2)
also im really curious to see how this will play into the story, especially given that ng+ is a thing   |

when trying to ranked up a lvl 9 shard it actually says in the dialogue that it will revert it back to lvl 1

It may be related to what Dominique warns you about, with having too much shard power being dangerous, but it could still use better conveyance, or its own menu segment so people don't do it by accident and end up wasting a lot of resources.
