With mages having their own version of skillchains, Scholar can already participate with Immanence and Blue Mage can use Chain Affinity, so I don't think we need a similar system to compensate. Being able to fuse magic would be an interesting direction to take, I'm not sure if it'd be practical without out-staging other job roles (if less potent, how much more would it benefit us) . I think if you wanted a Scholar who's a better healer, sub WHM and if you wanted a Scholar who's a better nuker, sub BLM. Plus Scholar already has the opportunity to increase the potency of their spells without /WHM or /BLM. I think the only real benefit would be enfeebles, as you've combined two spells a Scholar gets to create gravity, which a scholar doesn't have, but it could easily be argued to just give Scholar more enfeebling spells, or as suggested, Helix II spells that enfeeble. I think it'd take less work on SE's hands.
OR, we could have different enfeebling status effects associated with an element and for there to be a strategem that allows for magic of the same element as the weather to have a corresponding enfeebling effect. I think it should be less potent than enfeebling spells, so it doesn't replace them, just to give Scholar more of an edge. It'd definitely offer an advantage to have a Scholar nuker I think. Just a thought for a solution.
