Prayer Powders

One thing that stood out to me were these things, they sound quite over-pow(d)ered. ;)

The Scarab Shells can also be ground down into new Prayer Powders. These are consumable objects which can be scattered around the player to give 30-minute boosts to specific defensive and healing prayers.

Powder of Defence : provides an additional +2 defence boost when using Thick Skin / Rock Skin / Steel Skin prayers.
Powder of Protection : boosts damage protection to 60% when using Protect From / Deflect From prayers.
Powder of Item Protection : protect one extra item when using the Protect Item prayer.
Powder of Pulverising : grinds all bones in your inventory when using the Ectofuntus.
Powder of Burials : boosts Prayer XP to 250% when burying bones.
Powder of Penance : restores Prayer points equal to 2.5% of damage received.

I wonder if they'll be tradeable? If so, I predict they'd be a good money-maker!

Will Penance Powder stack with the Penance Aura? probably not, but that'd be nice.

What are your thoughts or predictions around these things? Do you like/dislike them? Bob says:

The powder of protection won't stack with aos/eof tho and that would be broken You'll get it when you deserve it.

I don't think these are going to be overpow(d)ered, honestly. Most of them are just alternate ways of obtaining buffs we can already get (Signs of Protection, Amulet of Souls, Penance Aura), and the ones that aren't are clearly designed to breathe new life into dead content that desperately needs it (normal defensive Prayers, Ectofuntus, normal burials).

That's not to say they won't be useful; of course they will be! But I'm not worried about any balance repercussions on this one.
