Hmm. I can agree with the rebirth potion bit! I don't think it's a huge deal, personally. Usually the only reason I've ever wanted to do a rebirth potion is if I was trying something a bit more experimental and then finally go 'Yeah this isn't working at all'. I don't do so much a full reset so much as replace one of the trees of my build with either something else from the same subtree, or something eles that 'fits'.
I -love- the element passive for themed characters idea! I always, always, try and make my character with a theme. From Tristinia forwards, each has generally had 'an idea' with their creation, and I think this is a great way to encourage this! In general, rewarding players for investing heavily into a character is a good thing.
I have a possible suggestion though regarding rebirths. Something in-between rebirths and mana amnesias... A way to allow for limited respeccing within the same tree. Like... Swapping from Magma to Explosion, or the like. If one part of the 'theming' you're going for just isn't working out, but you think you can make it work with a different part, I think that should be less limited than a full respec. (Then again, maybe that can just be slightly more relaxed requirements on the apps)
