Okay, I know there have been some ideas about making decompile reuse shorter, but I've had another thought on it.  Make the reuse timer a variable time.

Possbile formula: Max reuse timer - ((Decompile level - Item level) / 5)
If Negative, Instant, with no reuse

Explanation:

Test 1
Decompile level = 60
Item level = 40

Pretty much a guaranteed decompile, and the time would be short...maybe...2 seconds

Test 2
Decompile level = 60
Item level = 55

Harder decompile, reuse timer goes up

Test 3
Decompile level = 50
Item level = 49

If they succeed, reuse timer is the max timer it is now.
