    New Trait: Aetheric Ruin (Upgraded from Ruin II)
    Spell: Aether Loop
    Potency: 200
    Instant
    400 MP
    Whenever Adloquium's initial target's Galvanize breaks, or when Succor's Galvanize on yourself breaks, gain the buff Enhanced Aether Loop Ready
    Spell: Enhanced Aether Loop
    Potency: 590 (Or less if Broil's damage should be shaved down to keep it balanced)
    Instant
    400 MP

    New Spell: Miasma/Miasma II/Miasma III
    Potency: 30
    Duration: 30 seconds

    New Trait: Energy Drain (Imagine the Energy Drain ability got removed and the Aetherflow mechanic got reworked into something better)
    Whenever Broil or Aether Loop damage an enemy afflicted with Biolysis or Miasma, replenish 2% of mana. If the target is afflicted with both, replenish 4% of mana.

    Oops, got a bit carried away, Lol. Pick one, I guess.

    Aether Loop is essentially a movement tool that requires a shield to be broken, exactly like Toxikon and Toxikon II. The problem is, SCH already has a Movement tool with Ruin II that doesn't require a pre cast of adloquium to be available. Also, it has the same problems as Toxikon II with your shield applying a critical heal or the target interfering in any other way with mitigation or shields of their own. (I know you meant it to only work with Galvanize and not Catalyze, but still a crit augments Galvanize too.)

    Miasma mana recovery effect is too strong. It essentially gives SCH damage free of MP.

    Might not be perfect, but there's gotta be at least some way to encourage use of GCDs. Also I figured there should be some sort of reward for keeping DoTs up. The free damage was intentional as I did this with the idea that Aetherflow would just be something completely different since it's honestly not really working out for Scholar, in my opinion.

    Edit: Also Aether Loop would still be available in its regular form with this idea.
