Obviously, but that's not the point. You have keywords A, B and C. You want to lead with ability X, which is in all of them. Today, you want to augment with ability Y, which is only found in keyword A, so you use the version of X that's found in either B or C, leaving the A keyword free for augmenting. Tomorrow, you want to augment with ability Z, only found in keyword B, so you use the A version of X....
Which is pretty horrible. But as soon as you put limits on anything, you're telling players that the limits are there to be pushed against.
