I was just wondering to myself, "Man. Wouldn't it be great to be able to apply a void burn to my universal remote for minotaurs?" Then, I had a realization! Why not burns synths?
Yessir, burn synths. Little guys to pop and apply to your primary weapon EVEN IF IT ALREADY HAS A BURN. The effect would last for 10 minutes and have a cool down of 15 minutes. Yes, you can choose from any of the three burns: solar, arc, or void.
Prices? That I'm not so sure about. Maybe 2 motes per synth? We get shit tons of motes, so that seems fair.
Let me know what you think below or tell me if this has already been thought of.
EDIT: To clear the air, it's adding an element, not a BURN to a kinetic primary. My apologies.

You might want to edit the original paragraph, rather than adding an addendum at the end. I do like the idea of a consumable the temporarily gives your held weapons the damage type attributed to the consumable, such as Solar Synthesis, Arc Synthesis or Void Synthesis. Or there could be a consumable which temporarily applies a specific burn modifier to your character only. Probably would have to be a five minute cool-down (which is how long the effect lasts, you just typed that the time you have to wait to use the consumable again is 25 minutes. The 15 minute cool-down time is fine) before you can pop another. Could even be a Xur item that costs a couple strange coins.
