        The basic idea is that equipment gets damaged, and you need to pay

      The hardest thing to perhaps tune is how items get damaged.  My idea

      disadvantage (as attacks do more damage).  It also makes some sense -

      damaged either.
     
     
I also suggest that using a weapon (I mean "doing damages with it") 
could cause damages to that weapon.

For example, if I attack a dragon with my little dagger, there is 
chances that I'll damage my dagger. This is, IMHO, more likely that 
damaging a weapon by _being_ attacked.
