Devil Fruits are essentially the magic of the One Piece world, but even magic must be practiced in order to be mastered. Like a swordsman honing his skills, a Devil Fruit user must hone their fruit's power. As your character's rank increases, so does their Devil Fruit mastery; a character's potential for greatness increases due to an increase in talents, so with Devil Fruits the potential for greatness increases due to extra versatility.
Most Devil Fruits are simple and stay relatively the same. Whatever change seems to take place with the Devil Fruit power is actually related to the ingenuity of the Devil Fruit user, such as Monkey D. Luffy as his Gomu Gomu no mi or Tony Tony Chopper and his Hito Hito no mi.
Very rarely is a Devil Fruit complicated and multi-layered. That being said, all Devil Fruits on this site will only be approved if simple and easy to understand. Examples of Devil Fruits which will require changes from canon include but are not limited to; Kage Kage no mi, Hobi Hobi no mi, and the Ato Ato no mi.
Anyway, Devil Fruits take up a Style Slot due to how similar their mechanics are - to support and define a character's fighting style. However, unlike Styles, Devil Fruit users must choose between Range and Duration rather than automatically increasing one or the other. For some the choice might be easy while others might not have the choice depending on the type of Devil Fruit. Regardless Devil Fruits are the most inherently useful source of power within the world of One Piece, so choosing between a Devil Fruit's range potential and duration potential will not be detrimental if you know how to use your Devil Fruit's power.

Every Devil Fruit will be graded on a case by case basis, but keep the above limitations and examples in mind when constructing your Devil Fruit, canon or custom. Paramecia and Zoan with special powers are going to be most heavily graded due to the notable versatilty granted by such Devil Fruits; for Paramecia and Special Zoans, also keep in mind one key factor when making your Devil Fruit - simple and easy to understand (aka. a specific power, not a broad power).
