Converting older Warframe Arcanes to their corresponding weapon class

As per the title, I believe reworking the older Arcanes that boost weapon stats could be migrated to their corresponding weapon class slot (with possible adjustments) to give them standardization within those Arcanes. There would be some exceptions and specific changes needed, but in general:

Warframe Arcanes

Arcane Acceleration -> Rifle Acceleration
Arcane Awakening -> Secondary Awakening
Arcane Fury -> Melee Arachne(?) ('Melee Fury' for base damage on melee would be confusing with Primed/Berserker Fury.)
Arcane Momentum -> Sniper Momentum
Arcane Precision -> Secondary Precision
Arcane Rage -> Primary Precision
Arcane Rise -> Primary Awakening
Arcane Strike -> Melee Acceleration
Arcane Tempo -> Shotgun Acceleration
Arcane Velocity -> Secondary Acceleration

Arbitration Arcanes

Arcane Blade Charger -> Melee Charger
Arcane Pistoleer -> Secondary Pistoleer
Arcane Primary Charger -> Primary Charger
Arcane Tanker: Since there is no Arch-gun Arcane slot, this could be left as-is for now until we get that functionality.

With this, Exalted weapons (and pseudo-exalted if you make them moddable and fix 'stat-sticks') would then get an Arcane slot that would make use of these Arcanes. That way, players would not lose their Arcane Velocity Regulators Prime or their Arcane Fury Exalted Blade. I know this may seem like a "nerf" to many Arcanes by moving them away from the Warframe slot, but moving them would free up that slot on your Warframe for a different Arcane. This change would streamline how Arcanes can be expected to be used, and open up greater build possibilities between Arcanes such as Momentum, Pistoleer, Primary/Blade Charger, etc.

I think allowing you to use warframe slots to boost your weapons or vice versa encourages build diversity and experimentation, and most of those old arcanes could not compete with 360% or 480% weapon damage. Interesting idea though
