Currently if you throw a Dragon Talon at something, go to pick it up and accidentally merge the sword, it will have the cooldown even after you pick up the half that's been missing a second ago, making you wait the entire cooldown fully. Would be nice if the cooldown got at least shortened.
Reset outright would be nice but not sure if keeping a bit of friction is good or not. People would still be basically down a weapon if they confuse the order, until they pick it up. Something something yay game design, balance and "how much do we punish people for mistakes".
Might want to make sure it's a recently thrown Talon though, so that people can't cheese it by throwing a bunch of them in advance and then picking them up
