Just to throw in a few non "get rid of the character" two bits....
If you don't want to write off the character, you can orchestrate something to cause change. Â This can even be done in the background instead of making other people privy to it directly. Â (And it gives RP opportunities when they figure it out.)
If the echo ability is at its core, and it's part of what makes him the 'centerpiece' of all the stories easily, orchestrate a way to lose it. Â Again, do this off screen. Â Have him deal with the initial blacklash of it offscreen as these are scene stealing style moments, and you're trying to get him away from being the center of the spotlight.
Losing his 'special' echo power would be a rather humbling thing. Â With this being the centerpoint of everything combat wise, if I'm reading right, removing this means you've effectively crippled him and he's got to learn to deal with being 'normal' (whatever that is).
Aetheric burnout is a 'thing' that we've seen discussed in the MSQ and certain class quests, so you can use that as to why it's gone.
Having him effectively knocked down a few pegs might be satisfying to the others. Â You can probably expect them to take out their frustrations a bit on him as the shoe is now on the other foot.
