    My biggest gripe though is, you make all of these changes and dont give them Meltdown, HOW DARE YOU, lol. But the biggest issue is how would this work alongside the other healers?

    Here are some brief observations:

    The Energy Drain, Aetherflow change makes no sense honestly, since the SMN version is actually inferior. Plus if Aetherflow is just an MP refresh skill now it's even worse. Getting both earlier again would be nice.

    While I wish the name would change, Ruin II is a benefit on SCH, since they are the only healer with and instant GCD attack spell.

    You removed Emergency Tactics, but didn't give SCH any healing spells to supplement it. Shields don't always work sadly.

    Some of the moves have CC involved. SE seems to be moving past this with most skills.

    Also some of the "newer" skills you added seem to have similar effects to old ones, why not just use the old names, like Fey Wind.

    Plan A sounds nice, but since they removed Cleric Stance, I think it's safe to say they dont wanna reduce healing output to increase DPS anymore.

    Additionally, Plans A, B, and C all feel like they fight eachother a bit. Not to the extent that Dissipation, Aetherpact, and Summon Seraph currently do, but skills shouldn't fight one another.
    (For those not aware, SCH has an issue where besides its lv 50 skill, none of it's capstone skills, mentioned above, can be used together, as using one locks the other two out)

    Also, SCH only has one faerie, Lily, they don't have 3. So an ability like Delta Formation doesn't make much sense. Though I do like the idea of giving SCH a healing/damage move, similar to Assize and Earthly Star. Since only SCH doesn't have a skill like that.

    PS, maybe try to adjust the layout of how the information is set up, so it's easier to distinguish the sills and information like CD and MP cost. Right now it all just flows into one another and can be difficult to discern.
    noted about the cd and mp cost and i will try to edit it. as for old spell names i didn't know but i like fey wind better so i will use it ty.

    as for libra ,true that chain is suppose to be like libra but libra is originally the scan spell that lets you know your enemies weakness and strengths meaning not only you can deal critical damage to him you could reduce his damage by knowing what Resistance you need so i thought i take that element for libra to reduce damage.

    they do fight one another cause you can only use 1 at a time and cannot apply 2 plans at the same time,the idea is scholar use 1 plan active if he needs to like a part of a phase in his tactics.
    he can always cancel his current plan and switch to another at any time but he will need to consider the cd time to activate it again(noted that it wasn't written there so i updated it ^^ )

    aetherflow is both mp/stack filler which is different to ED which deal damage/stack ,it still relevant for mp management.(again that is how i see it),as for putting it at lower levels i used the base level in SHB so i am not sure if putting it at lower level is that good but i will think and try to see about that idea.

    even though instant cast gcd dps skill is nice to have,i removed ruin II cause i think it better to remain with ruin/broil since there is plan B that can help make broil/miasma to be instant cast just like lightspeed and i gave other options to deal instant damage like ED/Fester to use for movement (true that they are ogcd but it still can help ^^)

    as for emergency tactics removal,i thought a better approach would be for scholar to have tools that will increase his base healing spells and buff their potencies like plan c that increase both his healing and shielding while increasing his healing crit rate and amount or light blessing that boost the fairy healing momentarily rather then convert his shield(i am not sure if i say it right but i basically thought it was more to his theme to find ways to strengthen his base spells potencies instead to just convert his shields again that is how i feel scholar acts)

    as for fairy delta formation,i updated the description.
    i guess it wasn't that clear but the idea is scholar form a formation together with eos and selene both of lily aspects and deploy the spell.,my bad.

    as for the other 2 i didn't count their current version in this rework idea because i believe all 3 healers need a rework idea and if i could i would also change WHM and AST to have more skills related to their themes

    would love to hear more notes if you have
